Ruth Feeney Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by M. John Scanlan Funeral Home - Pompton Plains on May 7, 2024.
September 30, 1927 – May 5, 2024
Ruth was born in Vestal, New York, to Charles L. Moore and Helen Newman Moore.
Ruth is predeceased in death by her husband, Jerome (Jerry) Feeney, with whom she enjoyed a 50 year marriage; and her two siblings, Harold Moore and Arthur James Stevensen. She is survived by her three children, Kevin and his wife, Ann; Brian and his wife, Stacey; and Sharon Feeney Snook and her husband, Edward. Eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren always put a light in Ruth's eyes.
Ruth and her mother settled in Paterson, New Jersey when she was a teen. Years later she met her future husband and they married in 1948. The newlyweds settled in Clifton where Ruth resided until 2020. During that time she was a devout member of St George RC Church where she served as a member of the Rosary Society.
For twenty three years Ruth worked as a clerk for what she always called the "Telephone Company," also known as New Jersey Bell and Bell Atlantic.
Ruth and Jerry enjoyed their retirements traveling the world, where their favorite thing to do was to take endless cruises and dance the night away.
Visiting hours will be held from 4 to 8 pm on Wednesday, May 8 at Scanlan's Funeral Home, Pompton Plains. A funeral Mass will be celebrated 10 am on Thursday at Holy Spirit RC Church, Pequannock. Burial will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Totowa.

My condolences to the entire Feeney Family for your loss. I have the privilege of working with Ruth's daughter Sharon. I never got to meet Ruth but if Sharon is anything like her mother than Ruth was an amazing woman. My deepest condolences to the entire Feeney Family even though I cannot make the service my heart is with all of you <3.
