Geraldine Joan Fijewski, 89 of Weirton, passed away on Thursday, July 17, 2025. Born on March 7, 1936, she was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Helen Mieczkowski Fijewski, her sister Dolores Syzmanski, and her brother Paul.
She is survived by her brother Tom (Jackie) Fijewski of Weirton and several cousins. In her role as an aunt, she lovingly spoiled four nieces and four nephews.
Gerry was an active member of Sacred Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Weirton, volunteering her time in the kitchen for the Polish picnics and Lenten dinners. She was a very kind and loving person with a generous nature and was cherished by her family, friends, neighbors, and her beauty shop customers. She liked traveling, bowling, shopping, and going to polka dances when she was not crafting or decorating or rocking on the back porch listening to music.
A Private Graveside service will be held at Saint Paul's Cemetery at the convenience of her family.
Gerry's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Weirton Geriatric's Garden Place staff and the caring individuals at Valley Hospice, all of whom treated her like family.
Memorial contributions may be made in Gerry's name to Sacred Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, 200 Preston Ave, Weirton, WV. 26062.
