Irene Joan Kubica

Irene Joan Kubica died peacefully on August 4, 2023, in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Born on October 30, 1927, in Footedale, PA to the late Alex and Eleanor (Talaga) Solarchick, she lived most of her long life near her birthplace where she was a lovingly devoted daughter, sibling, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She fully embraced each day with gratitude and prayer for life's blessings and gifts as well as losses. In 2001 she enthusiastically relocated to Connecticut and enjoyed wonderful years making new friends in Farmington, Unionville, Simsbury, and Bloomfield.

She's survived by her much-loved family including daughter Debra (Mrs. Dominick) Pasquale; daughter-in-law Rose (Mrs. Edward Ronald) Kubica; grandsons Scott (Laura Marie) Kubica and Kevin (Laura Jane) Kubica; great-grandchildren Kelsie, Amelia, Conner, Alex, and Xavier; siblings Robert (Marlene) Solarchick and Rosemarie Yodanza and their families; and other family members and many friends. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Edward Andrew; cherished son Edward Ronald; infant grandson Jason Christopher; and dearest siblings Eleanor Solarchick, Alex Solarchick, Florence Moon, Joseph Solarchick, and Judy Riggin. The family expresses heartfelt appreciation to the staff and residents at the Virginia Connelly Residences in Simsbury and The Views at Seabury for their care, kindness, and support of Irene during her final decade. Gratitude is also extended to Masonicare Hospice and Seabury's Davis Center for their compassion during Irene's final weeks.

Services and burial will be held later in Footedale, PA. Arrangements are being handled by The Ahern Funeral Homes, Inc., www.ahernfuneralhome.com.
