Margaret Golowczyk Obituary

Margaret (Wilhelm) Golowczyk, 81, of Manchester, widow of Alex Golowczyk, died Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013, at a local convalescent home.

Margaret was born Dec. 11, 1931, in Altzedlisch, Germany, daughter of Josef and Maria (Feigler) Wilhelm. She was raised in Altzedlisch and Nueinhein im Taunus, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1957, where she resided in Glastonbury. She moved to Manchester in 1973 and became a longtime and faithful parishioner of St. Bridget Church. Prior to retiring, she was employed by the former Iona Manufacturing Co. of Manchester and the former Bristol Brass Co. in South Windsor.
