Anita

Bordone

BORDONE, Anita I. , on January 22, 2014 of Guttenberg, N.J., age 93. Anita was born on 07/22/1920, and was a lifelong resident of Guttenberg, N.J. living in the same home she was born in most of her life. She was a devoted daughter to the late Secondo and Quintina Foscale and loving sister of her late siblings Lucy (Pedrazzo), Raymond Foscale and Henry (Harry) Foscale. Anita attended Our Lady Help of Christian's elementary school in West New York graduating with honors and then went on to business school. From there she took on several secretarial positions until marrying her dear husband Louis Bordone. Anita was always by her husband's side accompanying him while he served in the US Army in Virginia and Georgia and then returning to Guttenberg where she raised two children Robert and James. The death of her infant daughter Tina was a very difficult time for her, but Anita was strong and weathered the feelings that can easily overwhelm any parent when they lose a child. Anita also was by her husband's side as both a counter person and bookkeeper for his butcher shop Dino's Meat Market in North Bergen. She remained by her husband's side through his ordeal with sickness and numerous hospital visits and loved him to the very end. As a widow Anita traveled with senior groups to various places such as Costa Rica, Panama and Las Vegas. Anita loved to travel and always had fond memories of her excursions. Towards the end of her life she devoted all of her love and care to family, and her pet's. Her passion for nature and animals was what was so special about her. Anita will be missed by all the dear creatures that depended so much on her kind heart, especially Sammi, Sally, Billie, Nillie and all the others who visited her porch on a daily basis. Anita is survived by her devoted son Robert M. and his wife Mary and her loving grandson Robert C. and her dedicated son James. A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, January 27, 2014 at 11:00am. at the A.K. Macagna Funeral Home 495 Anderson Avenue Cliffside Park, N.J. Cremation will be private. The family will receive their friends Sunday 2-4 and 7-9pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Anita's memory to The Doris Day Animal League, Habitat for Humanity, Boys Town or Disabled American Veterans.
