Helen (De Luca) Del Favero

Helen (nee De Luca) Del Favero, 94, of Clifton, passed away Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at home. Born in Passaic, Helen was a lifelong Clifton resident. Before her retirement, she was employed as a secretary at Sacred Heart R.C. Church in Clifton where she was a longtime faithful parishioner. Previous employment was with Prudential Insurance Co, in Newark as a stenographer, and Reed & Nottage Advertising Agency in Clifton.

Helen traveled for many years throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean.  She especially enjoyed annual vacations in Wildwood Crest with a large group of family and friends.  She stayed active well into her eighties, attending Clifton Senior "Stretch Classes", riding the stationary bike at her local gym, and taking monthly casino trips. Solving crossword puzzles was a favorite lifelong pastime for her. 

Helen looked forward to family get-togethers for holidays, birthdays and other occasions.  Cooking and baking for them was a labor of love for her.  Her spinach gnocchi and manicotti are fondly remembered.
