Teresa Yabrosky Obituary

YABROSKY, Teresa "Tess" D.

Teresa "Tess" (Dublac) Yabrosky of Unionville, beloved wife of John M. Yabrosky passed away peacefully, Friday, (January 2, 2004). Born June 30, 1929 in Unionville, daughter of the late Andrew F. and Mary Catherine (Revak) Dlubac. She was a graduate of Farmington High School, class of 1947. Besides her husband, Tess is survived by her eight children and their spouses, Kim E. Droney of Fayetteville, N.C., Robin and Eric Franz of Charlotte, N.C., John M. Yabrosky, Jr., Amy Yabrosky Delgrecco, Joel and Vicki Yabrosky, Mary Yabrosky and Chris Foryan, Seth and Lisa Yabrosky all of Unionville and Michael and Nancy Yabrosky of New Hartford; her five sisters, Catherine Smith, Catherine Cormier, Madelyn Peltier, Patricia Wollenberg and Rosalie Nedorostek and her brother, Robert Dublac; six grandchildren, Zak, Jesse, Luke, Katie, Hannah and Tom; three step grandchildren, Carla, Rebecca and Mariah; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her three sisters, Margaret Janezic, Ann Fox, Mary Speranza, and her two brothers, Edward Dublac and Paul Dublac. In her younger day, most people would refer to our mother as a "jock" - basketball, softball, etc. (two points here, an rbi there, a poke to the ribs, a jab to the kidney-yeah, so we've been told.) In her older days, it was her mind and spirit that endeared us. Tess was her happiest when surrounded by her family and friends. She was a true lover of nature and life's gifts; it's birds, flowers and most of all people. Her generosity and compassion for all was limitless and she derived a unique strength and wisdom from her devout faith and from what life offered her. She was great. As we will dearly miss her presence, her spirit will always be in and among us. Friends may call at The Ahern Funeral Home, 111 Main St., Rte. 4, Unionville on Monday, Jan. 5 from 4-8 p.m. Funeral procession from The Ahern Funeral Home will be Tuesday at 9 a.m. followed by the Funeral Liturgy in the Church of St. Mary Star of the Sea at 10 a.m. Burial will be in St. Mary Cemetery, Avon. In lieu of flowers, Tessie would invite any donations to the Church of St. Mary Star of the Sea, Building Fund, Bidwell Square, Unionville, CT 06085 or Alzheimer's Assoc., 96 Oak St., Hartford, CT 06106 or simply the charity of your choice.

To all the Yabrosky and Dublac Family Members may I express my deepest sympathy and condolences. I just learned of "Tessie's" passing. I will always remember her as a laughing fun filled girl and sportswoman in the class of 47.

To Amy, John and your brothers and sisters -

I only knew your Mom through seeing her around "downtown" Unionville on occassion, however I always marveled on how she was able to keep such a large brood in such good spirits and raise good children. I'm sure there were difficult times (and growing up when we did, in the 60's and early 70's, there sure were a few of those) but you all seemed to be united as a family. The testimony given in her notice by all of you shows how much you all loved and cared for her. My deepest condolences.

Mary, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this time of grief. While I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother, I know that you are one of the kindest and generous (and funny) people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting - I'm certain that you must have inherited your kind spirit from her.

You and your family are in the prayers of my family where we are asking our loving Father in heaven to extend His hand of comfort around you.

God be with you now and always,

Brenda Woods and family

Dear Amy,

My Mom said she saw you recently and you were just as warm and always a smile on your face. You did however tell her at the time that "Mom" was not well ...You've been in my thoughts since. It's hard to believe I met you at 15. Time does fly by. But the memories are as fresh as ever.I look back on our years together through school with such happiness. I'm so glad I have diaries from those days.And believe it or not I still keep one. When I think back to all the hours spent in your house and the cottage I recall it with lots of noise and laughter. You're parents were always fair with all the crazy things we use to due.The difference between your parents and mine were that I didn't get grounded for cutting school and going to the cottage...YOU did..but with 8 children your parents had their hands full and had to maintain control and order. Looking at you and your siblings through the years your parents had much to be proud of. They brought up warm ,loving,children and they live on in you and all of the grand children. When I think of your Mom I think of that photo of her taken when she was just a school girl.she was sitting on a fence i believe. I remember you showing me this photo and saying she has always remained this beautiful woman. It's funny the things you remember. But I want to Thank You for all of the wonderful years and memories of so long ago that stay with me. It was nice to have been a small part of such a loving family. Take Special Care...God Bless...
