Born in Lodz, Poland, Londene emigrated to the United States when she was 2. She grew up in Clifton and raised her daughters in Wallington before moving to Wanaque, where she had her son Casey. Later, she returned to Wallington to help her parents and remained there until her death.

“Jolanta was a dedicated and accomplished professional who was finance controller for the Diocese of Paterson. She approached her career with integrity and a deep sense of purpose. Her work positively impacted many, and the relationships she built along the way were the most rewarding part of her professional journey. Her commitment and unwavering kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she worked with. Jolanta’s love for her family and her Catholic faith were at the center of her life,” according to her obituary. “She will be remembered for her strength, warmth, and the joy she brought to those around her. She was a woman full of life. She was kind, caring, and warm, drawing people to her.”
Londene enjoyed baking, hosting family gatherings, gardening, and the beach.
