Arthur Edward Woznicki, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2024, at his home in Newington, Connecticut, at the age of 90. Born on December 14, 1933, in Webster, Massachusetts, Arthur lived a life marked by dedication to family, service to his country, and a deep commitment to education.
Arthur graduated from Fordham University, where he laid the foundation for a lifetime of learning and teaching. Shortly after, he served honorably in the United States Army from 1956 to 1958. During this time, Arthur married his high school sweetheart, Barbara (née Michalek), beginning a loving partnership that lasted until Barbara's passing in 2020.
Arthur's early career journey led him to the field of education, where he found his calling. He began as a public school teacher in Watertown, Connecticut, then later, he joined the West Hartford Public Schools. Over the years, Arthur's work in education extended beyond the classroom to various roles, including curriculum coordinator, elementary principal, director of K-12 instruction, and director of pupil services. His influence on students and colleagues alike was profound, and his passion for education continued into retirement when he authored a book on the principalship.
During their retirement, Arthur and Barbara discovered a love for traveling, exploring many parts of North America. After each journey, Arthur wrote and published a travel journal describing their adventures together, capturing their shared experiences and the beauty they encountered along the way.
Arthur was a man who always made time for his family, and his devotion to them was unwavering. He is survived by his daughter Katherine Crowley and her husband Michael, his son Steven Woznicki and his wife Carol, his beloved granddaughters Kelly Schumacher and her husband Justin, Tammy McLaughlin and her husband Robert, Grace Woznicki, and great-grandson Wesley Schumacher. Arthur was predeceased by his cherished wife, Barbara, who remained the love of his life.
The family is grateful for the love and support of friends and caregivers during this difficult time. Relatives and friends are invited to call on Thursday, August 15th from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Newington Memorial, 20 Bonair Ave., Newington. A Funeral Service will begin at 11:30 a.m. at Newington Memorial. Arthur will be laid to rest alongside his beloved Barbara at the State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown privately at the convenience of the family.

Arthur's life was a testament to the values of dedication, love, and service. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
"All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away." John 6:37

I worked occasionally with Art while teaching in West Hartford. He always had the grace of a classy man , one who had impeccable trust. It was a joy to know him and a sadness to learn of his passing.
