Wilhelmina “Winnie” Lauzon (nee Freund) age 88 of Pompton Plains passed away peacefully on Wednesday December 31, 2014 in the presence of, and while receiving the loving care of her family.
Wilhelmina was born in New York City. She was raised and lived throughout parts of Hudson and Bergen County including Hoboken and Fort Lee and Teaneck. She also was a long time resident of Dumont, NJ for 57 years until moving to Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains three years ago.
Wilhelmina learned at an early age from her parents, the value of a good work ethic. She started helping her parents at the age of fourteen in the family owned delicatessen which relocated a few times in the Hudson and Bergen County area, and eventually settling in Teaneck. Shortly after graduating High School, she went to work for her Parents full time. Across the street from Wilhelmina’s family store was another family owned store, H Lauzon Furniture Company. The owners of that store had a son Francis Lauzon who served proudly in the US Navy during WWII. After the war ended, Francis went to work full time for his parents and would visit Wilhelmina’s family deli for lunch practically every day, hoping to get a chance to talk to the “pretty girl behind the counter.” They met in 1947 and after a courtship of about two years, they were married in 1949.
After they were married they moved to Englewood where they lived for about four years then Francis and Winnie moved to Dumont where they would spend the next 57 years and raise their three daughters.
Just after Francis and Winnie were married, Winnie went to work for Francis’ family furniture company as a bookkeeper and would hold this position until they both retired simultaneously in 2002 after the selling of the business.
Winnie and Francis cherished sixty-one years of loving marriage until Francis’ passing in August of 2010. During that time they were avid travelers, visiting many different places including Alaska which was one of their favorites. They traveled by car to many locations and also loved to cruise as well. Winnie was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was devoted to her Catholic Faith which she actually converted to when she married Francis. Winnie was an avid Bridge player, she loved Gardening and Embroidering. She was extremely kind-hearted and always opened up her home to anyone that needed anything. So it was no surprise that she made many friends in Cedar Crest Village where she was very active in social events and gaming. Winnie touched the lives of many people and she will be sincerely missed by her family and friends alike.
Winnie is survived by her 3 daughters; Patti Vaspol and her husband Reid of Highland Mills, NY, Charlene Haas and her Husband Ed of Maplewood, and Robyn Ferrentino and her husband Gary of Harrington Park, 7 grandchildren; Darin, Michael, Karen, Katie, Nicholas, Ali, and Tori, 2 nieces; Suzanne and Faith, and 1 nephew; Kenny, she was predeceased by her husband Francis Lauzon in August 2010.
