In addition to her parents and husband she was preceded in death by her brothers-in-law, Leonard Jarosz and Charles Piechocki.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 1100 Erie Street on Thursday June 21, 2018, 6:00 p.m. Private interment will be held at Holy Cross Cemetery, Hwy 32.
