Evelyn Rose Arminio

Mrs. Evelyn Rose Traettino Arminio, 90, gained her placed among the angels of Heaven on Saturday morning, February 11, 2023.

We respectfully request that no one arrive at the funeral home prior to the posted visitation times, so as not to intrude on the family’s private time. 

Family and friends are invited to the visitation in the Kowalski Funeral Home, 515 Roselle Street, Linden on Thursday, February 16^th. from 4:00-8:00PM.  During the visitation at 5:00PM, there will be a wake service in the funeral home offered by Monsignor Kenneth Tuzeneu from St. Mary Roman Catholic Church of Barnegat.  On Friday, February 17^th. at 8:30AM, everyone will start to gather in the funeral home where a prayer service will begin at 9:00AM, followed by the funeral mass to be offered in St. Joseph of the Carpenter Roman Catholic Church in Roselle at 10:00AM.  The prayers of committal will precede Mrs. Arminio’s burial in the family plot in the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in East Hanover, New Jersey.

Evelyn, the daughter of the late Margaret Melito Traettino and the late Joseph Traettino, was born in Newark, New Jersey.  She lived in Roselle, New Jersey for twenty-five years, followed by residences in other places in New Jersey, including Spotswood, Barnegat, Washington and currently, Manahawkin.

Evelyn was employed as a clerk in the billing department for Verizon in Cranford for over twenty years, prior to earning her retirement in 1997.

She was deeply religious, attending church every day and saying the rosary.  Evelyn was a former communicant of St. Joseph the Carpenter Roman Catholic Church in Roselle and currently attended St. Mary Roman Catholic Church in Barnegat, where she used to volunteer at the various church activities.  In her spare time, Evelyn loved to sit by the water and contemplate life and she also enjoyed her membership in the Barnegat Italian American Club.  It can be said that Evelyn’s true joy in life emanated from time spent with her family, doing big social events or simply a one on one date for some cake and coffee.

Predeceased by her husband, Valentino Michael Arminio on August 11, 1981, Evelyn is survived by her two sons, Louis M. Arminio and his wife, Jo-Ann and Dr. Val J. Arminio and his fiancé, Angie Lauren; her daughter, Michele McCloskey and her husband, Robert; her two grandchildren, Lindsey Guinther and her husband, John and Michael Arminio and his wife, Brittany and her two great grandchildren, Nathan Louis Guinther and Wyatt Bruce Guinther.

Evelyn was a true old fashioned Italian style mom whose lot in life was to care for her family.   She and her husband raised their sons and daughter to be kind, loving and respectful and as Evelyn got older, her children made sure Evelyn was cared for in the same way.   

Evelyn was the core of life for her family, and she made sure that no one was ever forgotten and that everyone was always included.  Her smile that lit up her face, said it all!  In our hearts, we know that Mrs. Arminio will be deeply missed, but she will never be forgotten.
