Yvette F. Brucato, age 75 of Wayne, died on April 15, 2009 with her family by her side. She had lived in Wayne since 1968.
Yvette was self employed, working very hard with her husband Ralph until his death in 2005. She managed to run their business, raise the children, maintain a home and enjoy nearly fifty years of marriage – doing it all with grace. Yvette was born in Nancy, France, where she grew up. She met her husband who was serving in France for the US Army. They fell in love and married there. After being discharged, Ralph and Yvette returned to the US, living in Clifton, Garfield, and finally settling to Wayne in 1968. She was an ‘old-fashioned’ family lady who loved her family dearly. Her sons recall how hard she always worked keeping house and generally caring for everyone else. She was warm hearted like that, and a “great mom” to her two sons; Ralph and Phil. She also had a very special role as grandmother to her two grandchildren; Ralphy and Michael.
During her marriage, she travelled to France several times to visit her sisters and family there. She also went to Rio de Janeiro once and enjoyed countless trips to Atlantic City to play the slots. She was a fantastic gardener, mostly vegetables, and could she ever cook – especially with wine in the recipe. Her sons can remember eating escargot, and loving it, ever since they were little boys.
Yvette is survived by her two sons; Phil of Wayne and Ralph and his wife Diane of Wayne, two grandsons; Ralph of Wayne and Michael of Wayne, one sister of St. Louis, Missouri, and three more sisters who still live in France.
As expressions of sympathy, if friends so wish, donations may be made in Yvette’s memory to the Grace Bible Church, 150 Sunset Road, Pompton Plains, NJ, 07444 or to Transformation Life Center, PO Box 249, West Park, NY 12493.
