The family of Joan Severini of Clermont, Florida, and formerly a longtime resident of Kearny, NJ are saddened to announce her passing on January 16th at the age of 86 years. Joan will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Paula Bloomer, Son-in-Law Thomas Bloomer; grandchildren Kimberly Bissing (husband Curtis), Katlynd Lewis (husband Brian), Kristina Greene (husband Malik); great- grandchildren Logan Bissing, Luke Bissing and Rylie Lewis.
Now at peace, Joan joins her parents William and Rose Rutigliano and her beloved son Mark Severini, all of Kearny, NJ.
As a mother she was generous, loving and kind. When she became a grandma she was thrilled about her family growing. Her greatest joy was becoming a great-grandmother and loved just watching the kids swimming in the pool and trying to look mad when they splashed her.
Joan had a fulfilling career as an accounts receivable manager for companies such as Kane Carpet, Gund and Scholastic before her retirement in 2001. She loved to travel and enjoyed time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Joan was born and raised in Jersey City and then relocated with family to Kearny in the 1970’s where she lived until relocating to Florida to live with her daughter for the past 10 years.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation for Joan at the Armitage & Wiggins Funeral Home, 596 Belgrove Dr. Kearny on Thursday February 9 from 9- 11 AM. A Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home at 11 AM. Burial will follow at Arlington Cemetery in Kearny.
