Joanne Marie Garifo (nee Diveny), 64, of West Orange, N.J. passed away on Tuesday, 
Feb. 16, 2016.

Joanne was born in Montclair, N.J., and was a lifelong resident of West Orange. 

After graduating with a B.A. in education from Seton Hall University, she was a 
systems analyst working for Prudential Financial in Roseland, N.J. Prior to that, she 
worked at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of N.J. 

Joanne was a voracious reader who would read more than one book a week. She 
loved sitting in the sun on her front porch, with a glass of white wine, and vacationing 
at Wrightsville Beach, N.C., where she could relax under an umbrella and enjoy the 
sight and sounds of the ocean. 

Joanne was very proud of her sons and eagerly looked forward to becoming a 
"Grammie." 

Joanne was the beloved wife of 35 years of Joe Garifo; cherished daughter of the late 
John and Anne Marie Diveny; devoted mother of Matthew and his wife, Erin, Kevin, 
and the late Anthony "AJ"; loving sister of Br. Paul Diveny, O.S.B., Mary Diveny 
Loftus and her late husband, Patrick, Theresa Dempsey and her husband, Ray, and 
Carol Crate and her husband, Robert. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, 
aunts, uncles and cousins. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joanne's name to the Community Food 
Bank of N.J., 31 Terminal Road, Hillside, N.J. 07205.
