AGE: 86 • Hardyston Township
Angela Hunt Rainer, 86, of Hardyston Township, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, January 11th, 2016. A funeral mass will be held at St. Rose of Lima church, 312 Ridgedale Ave., East Hanover, NJ at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, January 30, followed by a memorial service at 11:00 a.m. at Gate of Heaven Mausoleum, 225 Ridgedale Ave., East Hanover, NJ. Angela was predeceased six months ago by her husband of 59 years, William C. Rainer, M.D. She is survived by her six children, Ann E. Rainer, William C. Rainer, Jr., Ellen M.

Angela was born in Tunnelton, West Virginia, and attended St. Francis High School in Morgantown, WV. She graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Arts in English. A woman of faith, Angela was beautiful on the inside as well as in appearance. We will all dearly miss her unique, kind and gentle spirit. She was a homemaker and an avid gardener. A former resident of Mountain Lakes, she was a long time member of the Garden Club of Mountain Lakes, NJ.

Dear Ann, Bill, Ellen, Madeline, Valerie and Joe, I will always remember your Mom with fond memories of her smile and kindness. She never seemed rattled with all the children, hers and the neighborhood's, around the yard and house. My thoughts and love to you all. Amy

Dear Ellen--
You probably don't remember me, but we were classmates at the Wilson School in Mountain Lakes, NJ. I was saddened to learn of the "passing" of your Mom, and was saddened to learn of the "passing" of your Dad six months ago. My heart mourns with you as I don't know how I'd survive when the same happens to my parents who are now 88 and 82.
I think of you often as we have friends who live on Lyonsville Rd. in Boonton/Rockaway. I still remember bike riding up to your house when you lived there at the time that we were both in Wilson. I also grieve with your brother Bill, who I think was one class above us. My parents were both saddened by the "passing" of your parents--My Dad remembered your Dad as a nice and dedicated colleague. Both, your Mom and your Dad will be missed.
Love,
Laura Cobrinik

Dear Ann, Bill, Ellen, Madeline, Valerie and Joe,
Your mother was an incredible woman, filled with love and caring. She was a second mother to me. I have countless fond memories of my childhood with your family. Your mother was so kind to include me in many of your family outings and gatherings. A family of six children often grew to seven in your station wagon.
Mrs. Rainer will forever be in my heart. I know she is in heaven with your father looking down at all of you with love.
You are all in my prayers.
Love,
Laura
