Marie Sarah Conklin

Marie Sarah (nee Gallagher) Conklin, 96, of Clifton. After a brief illness, Marie was called home to join God in Heaven on July 22, 2017. Born in Paterson, she was a lifelong resident until moving to Clifton in 2007 where she continued to live independently.
During Marie's lifetime, she watched us go from trolley cars to today's portable media world. She was a 1938 graduate of Eastside High School in Paterson and was a lifelong parishioner of St. George R.C. Church also in Paterson. In 1987, Marie retired from the Passaic County Prosecutors Office.
So many hearts are saddened by our loss and her giving and loving memories will be carried on in our hearts and minds. She loved being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and was very proud of all of her family members.
Marie was the beloved mother of Thomas and his wife Selma, Robert, George and the late Scott. She was the beloved grandmother of Maureen, Thomas, Kevin, Robert, Timothy, Heather, Dawn and Russell. Marie was the great-grandmother to Jenna, Alexander, Jade, Hunter, Nicholas, Alivia, Kevin, Rachel, Lauren, Ellie, Carly, Matthew, and Michael.
