Anna E. Wierbowski, of West Pittston, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012, surrounded by her loving family. She was 100 years old.
Born in Pittston on August 22, 1912, she was a daughter of the late George and Mary Lakowski Gustainis.
She was a graduate of Pittston High School and a member of Corpus Christi Parish at Immaculate Conception Church. She was an avid gardener and reader — a world traveler who especially loved the beach.
Her greatest joy was her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Simon Wierbowski; brothers, Austin and George Gustainis; sisters, Ruth Delelys and Julia Mercincavage.
Surviving are her nine children, Maryann MacLeod, wife of Carl, of Willingboro, N.J.; Ruth Fino, wife of Dominic Bob, of Dallas; Theresa Jordan, wife of the late Joseph, of Freehold, N.J.; John Wierbowski, husband of Priscilla, of Washington, N.J.; William Wierbowski, husband of Victoria, of Harding; Loretta Mumaw, wife of William, of Moosic; Carol Wierbowski Kahn, wife of Dr. James, of Washington Crossing, Pa.; Regina Wierbowski Hanna, wife of Robert, of New York, N.Y.; Robert Wierbowski, husband of Mary Jon, of Harding; 15 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.
Anna’s family would like to thank her wonderful doctors, Dr. Jane Durkin, Dr. Irvin Jacobs and Dr. Richard Oley of Dallas Family Practice; Dr. David Greenwald of Medical Oncology Associates; Dr. David A Dalessandro of Northeastern PA Cardiology; and the compassionate and caring people at Sacred Heart Hospice and Maxim Home Heathcare Services.
Friends and family were invited to attend her viewing on Friday at the Peter J. Adonizio Funeral Home, 251 William St., Pittston, and to her Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday in Corpus Christi Parish at Immaculate Conception Church, 650 Luzerne Ave., West Pittston.
