Josephine Sophie Jakubiak

Ted, Diane, Joe, Joan: I have vivid memories of your mother from my childhood in the Wayne Street neighborhood. She always had an encouraging word for young people. In recent years, I was glad to see her during my visits home, usually at Our Lady of the Angels Church. Her brisk step, high energy, ready smile, and engaging personality showed little change over the years. She seemed ageless.

I will always treasure the memories of Babci as my neighbor. She was warm and welcoming and an invitation to sit on the porch always made me feel special. Aly loved playing her her yard with her grandchildren. My thoughts are prayers are with the Jakubiak's.

Babci was wonderful neighbor. Always smiling. I last spoke to her in January when I met her at the polls for the special election in Mass. A snowy day, yet at her age she made sure to vote - she was an inspiration. I always admired her interest in education (especially for women). The neighborhood will miss seeing the ladies on her back porch. I enjoyed the few times I was able to join them. She was a lovely person and will be missed.

To Julie and your family, I would like to send my deepest sympathies on the passing of your Grandmother. May you find the comfort and support from your family and friends to make it through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Kathy Rabbett (Worcester, MA).

Joe, Judy and family-- Just happened upon this and wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear. Babci was a wonderful lady. Praying for comfort for you all at this time.
