Publish in a newspaper
Born in Poland to Kazimierz and Henryka Sarncacki, Iwona made her home in Stratford, Connecticut, where she built a life centered around love, warmth, and family. A cherished wife to Wojciech, devoted mother to Claudia, Caroline, and son-in-law Paul, and grandmother to Emma, Iwona's greatest joy came from caring for those she loved.
Iwona was a fierce cancer fighter and a shining example of grace and resilience. Known for her fabulous sense of style and her incredible cooking, she had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome in her presence. Her home was always open, her meals always comforting, and her heart endlessly generous. Her warmth and family-oriented spirit touched everyone who knew her.
