Virginia Marie Arcella Glesner, 92, passed away peacefully at her home in Norwood, New Jersey on May 16th. Virginia was born and raised in Northvale.  Virginia was predeceased by her beloved husband Harold (2015) and their so loved son Warren (1987). She was the daughter of Matilda and Sylvester Arcella, sister to Raymond Arcella, and cousin to Jean Alexiou.  She is survived by her cherished granddaughter Talia Glesner Covert (Gabriel Covert), great-grandson (his Nana), Oliver Warren Covert, and her steadfastly loyal daughter-in law, Laurie Glesner.  She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, as well as grand-nieces and nephews,  most importantly Lisa Arcella Degnen, who never wavered in her compassion and support. She is also survived by her lifelong friends, Joan and Sam Amorosso, and dear friend and “niece”, Donna Lissi. Her aide, Benedicta, brought light to her life during the last months of her life and cared lovingly for her during her final moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in her life Virginia had worked as a Barbizon model and hairdresser before returning to college after raising her son.\u00a0She earned a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Gerontology from St. Thomas Aquinas in Sparkill and a Master\u2019s Degree in Social Work from the New School in New York City.\u00a0She was the founding Director of the McGuire Senior Citizen Center in Northvale and was active in New Jersey political campaigns to benefit senior citizens.\u00a0Her kindness, care, and commitment touched many in Bergen County and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia was devoted to her family and to helping others. Those who knew Virginia appreciated her Italian meals served along with her entertaining stories shared with whomever came to visit. Her door was always open. She was loved by so many.  She and her husband, Harold, showed the strength of their character, and the strength of their faith, after the too early passing of their son Warren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
