Frances "Fran" Rojewski

My Science Teacher at St Felicitas grammar school!! Awesome woman!!

Today, I’m preparing to judge science presentations at SIU in Carbondale. On April 28, 2023, I’m reflecting on how Fran Rojewski, science colleague at St. Felicitas School, back in 1978, asked me to judge for local science fairs as well as IJAS City and State! Here, I am judging for all of these 45 years.
Fran was great with the students and has a wonderful family. I recall visiting at her home near Sacred Heart. May Jesus, Divine Mercy, bring her soul into eternal life!!

Mrs. Rojewski was an amazing soul. I was fortunate to be one of her SJS students. I think of her often and I'm saddened to know I was not able to find tell her to tell her myself before she passed. She fostered my love for science and God. I remember her teaching us beautiful church hymns and lively science lessons, most famously the demonstrations of molecules in a solid, liquid and gas. Rest in Peace Mrs. Rojewski.

David, Carol and family.
Teacher, Volunteer, Friend, Wife, Mother; no matter the role, Fran's actions were faith based and of the utmost sincerity.
Fondly remembered, may she rest in peace.
Prayers of comfort for the family.

We met Fran through church. Our fondest memories are singing with her in the choir. We loved the butter lambs she would always send us every Easter. We will definitely miss her.

Fran, You were truly a best friend. You were always there for me and Ed. I know in my heart that you are with Norb and that you are truly happy now. But that does not ease the sorrowful place in my heart. I will miss you.

Hello,
My name is Joseph Nardi I was a student of Mrs. RoJewski at St. Jerome she was my 7th grade home room teacher in 1994
I would like to say that she was my all time favorite teacher and have talked to classmates who all felt the same. She always made class interesting, fun, and helped us all enjoy the day. My condolences to the entire family she will not be forgotten!

I had the great pleasure of having Mrs. Rojewski as a teacher at St. Jerome. She was always so devoted to her students & held so much wisdom that she shared and passed on through each and everyone of her students. We all love going in her room and making sure to touch every single specimen on her shelf, while asking so many questions about them all. So many great memories happened in her classroom and she will be cherished by everyone she encountered. You will be missed Mrs. Rojewski & may you rest in peace.
All my Love,
Gabby Gallo

Thank you Mrs. Rojewski for inspiring me not only to become a scientist but also to find my way to teaching chemistry to other future scientists. Your teaching legacy continues...

Fran, I will miss you enormously. We were so much alike. Sisters, different mothers. A thank you isn’t enough what you gave my daughter Geriann in Science. Always 1st place in State in her Category. Illinois State. She has high regards for your teaching expertise that gave her Success. Fran you were more then was appreciated. I have memories of the Easter Butter Lambs. The Baptism bonnet you made for Vincent. You will not be forgotten you are going to meet Norb and Michael. Thank You for being my comuchka ( girl friend)

Sincerest condolences

My deepest sympathy. Fran was so kind and loving. We worked together many times on Literacy Volunteer projects. She will truly be missed.

I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Rojewski as my teacher at St Jerome School in Chicago from 2002-2006. She was my favorite teacher at St Jerome and sparked my love of science, which is one of the reasons I followed a career in health care. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I know she lived a wonderful life with her family and as a woman of faith. She will be missed be so many. I extend my sincerest condolences to her family. She will be in my prayers.

So sorry to see this announcement. I and Mark will be out of town, but would like to extend our families condolences and may you find comfort in God's arms. RIP Fran.

Fran was such a kind lady. My brother and I both did odd jobs for her. She was always a joy to visit with. Condolences to the family.

You will be missed Aunt Fran. Rest in peace with all of your family that has preceded you.

I’m very sorry for the family’s loss. I met Fran and her husband a few years ago through a mutual friend. They both were always so nice to me whenever our paths crossed. May memories provide comfort during these difficult days.
