Mildred Kovack MICHAELS

MICHAELS, Mildred Kovack
Mildred Kovack Michaels, age 95, died peacefully in the early hours of Thursday, (May 31, 2012). She was the loving mother of three daughters Jacqueline (Lynne) Michaels who predeceased her, Mary (Holly) Michaels and her partner Rose Petito of Windsor, CT, Kirstin Michaels of New York City and a granddaughter, Phoebe Weiskopf of Pittsburgh, PA. She was predeceased by her husband, Henry Jackson (Jack) Michaels; a sister, Rita Rindosh; a brother, "Billy" Kovack. She is survived by a brother, Michael Kovack, his wife, Diann and their three children and a sister, Christine "Pudgy" Lusick all of Shamokin, PA. Our mother was born in Shamokin, PA, but moved to Windsor in 1978 and was delighted by her new town. The first thing mom did when she moved to Windsor was join the Windsor Library - she was a voracious reader; her love for books was passed on to her children. She joined the Windsor Garden Club, was active at Northwest Park, created a lovely garden at her home, enjoyed her granddaughter, Phoebe, during many summers and baked the best apple pie "in the world." Our mother had a great sense of humor and a good sense of fun and adventure that she passed on to "her girls." She was an avid UCONN Women's Basketball fan and never missed a game on TV. Our mom spent the remaining years of her life at Meadowbrook of Granby and was quite happy there. We will be forever grateful to them, especially Amy, Laura and Georgia, for their excellent care and the love they showed her. The Farmington Valley VNA Hospice was there for the last few days and they were wonderful - we are grateful too for their compassion and care.
