Irene Chrzanowski Obituary
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, John Joseph Chrzanowski in 1998, brothers, Andrew, John, and two infant brothers, sisters, Susan, Mildred, Betty, Anne, and grandson, Brian Jackson.
Irene was born in Widen, W.Va., but grew up in Beauty, Ky. She worked for Pulakos Chocolates. She enjoyed baking, gardening and playing bingo. Irene was a member of St. Stanislaus Moms Club. She was fluent in three languages: Polish, English, and Hungarian. She was very proud of her Hungarian and Southern Heritage and embraced the Polish Heritage of Erie, where she fit right in.
Irene is survived by daughters, William (Elizabeth) Jackson of Rochester, N.Y. and Kathleen Conover of Richmand, Va., two sons, "D.J." John Michael Chrzanowski (Jan) of Erie, Andrew Christopher Chrzanowski of Richmond, Va. and his former wife Peggy of Florida, grandchildren, John Michael, Amanda, Tina, Christopher, Daniel, Kimberly, and Dacia, four great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, but had a very special relationship with two nieces, Nera Sue Demyan and Sissy Horwath. Irene is also survived by many family members of both the Chrzanowski and Urbaniak families.
