Stasia Foley Obituary
Born on May 22, 1916, in Hadley, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Francis A. Skower and Anna Wielgus Skower and resided in Enfield for over 77 years before moving to Windsor. Prior to retiring in 1983 from The Travelers Insurance Companies in Hartford, Stasia also worked for Colt Firearms, Hamilton Standard, and Kaman Aerospace. In her leisure time she made beautiful crafts including crocheted towels, memory boxes, Christmas tree ornaments, and rosaries as a member of the St. Joseph Rosary Makers. She was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and UConn women's basketball team. Stasia was very athletic, excelling in both baseball and basketball. In 2005 she was inducted into the Enfield Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the 1930s Hazardville R.C.A. Girls Baseball team. Stasia played third base for the team who won several state and regional championships in the 1930s.
She leaves behind her daughter, Gail Klopfer and husband, William, of Naples, Florida; and son, Daniel Foley and his wife, Donna, of Boerne, Texas. She also leaves three grandchildren, Sean, Ryan and wife, Laura, and Tara Foley and her fiancé, Matthew Bars. She was predeceased by brothers, John, Frank, and Walter Skower; and two sisters, Marion Berestka and Ada Krasinski; as well as four siblings who died shortly after birth.
