Wanda Osieja Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 31, 2020.
Wanda Osieja Wanda Osieja, of Jersey City, passed away peacefully at home on July 28, 2020 at the age of 103 ½. She would've celebrated 104 in February. A lifelong resident of Jersey City, Wanda worked at Western Electric, Kearny and retired after 35 plus years of service. A devout Catholic and parishioner of Our Lady of Czestochowa and Our Lady of Victories, she would attend mass regularly until it was no longer possible at age 99. Wanda loved summer and sunbathing at the beach and spent many vacations with the family at the Jersey shore and Florida. She was predeceased by husband John and now recently her sister and soulmate Helen Ptaszynski, nephew Mark and brother Ted Plesnarski of Clearwater, Fla. She is survived by niece Melinda Saminski and husband Stanley, niece Andrea Plesnarski of Eugene Oregon plus a few surviving friends, cousins and caretaker, Maia. We attribute her longevity to healthy eating, staying active and her faith. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation on Sunday from 2-6 PM at Evergreen Funeral Home, Jersey City and Mass of Christian Burial at Our Lady of Victories RC Church, Jersey City at 11:00 AM on Monday.
