Marie A. Jaworski

Mrs. Marie A. Jaworski

Mrs. Marie A. Jaworski, 88, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late Thadeus J. "Ted" Jaworski.

Born in Lansford, she was a daughter of the late Victoria (Gajewski) and Albert Porambo.

A devoted mother and grandmother, Marie cherished time with her family and found joy in life's simple pleasures. She was an avid reader who could often be found lost in a good novel, and she expressed her love through the countless sweaters, afghans and dishcloths she lovingly knitted over the years. Her witty sense of humor and laugh brought joy to those around her.

She delighted in traveling to wherever her children were and was always ready to play dominoes with her children and grandchildren. At Christmas time, she had mountains of Christmas cookies stored in the garage waiting for her family. She also liked working and making friends at Sears in Lancaster for 25 years, keeping in touch with what was happening in Lansford by reading the local newspaper, and having lunch with friends every week in different restaurants in Lancaster County or going to the theatre with them.

For over 50 years, she was a faithful member of St. Anne's Catholic Church, Lancaster, where her quiet strength and enduring faith were a source of comfort and inspiration to those who knew her.

Marie is survived by her three sons, Robert Jaworski (Alice) of Audubon, PA, John Jaworski (Louise) of Ijamsville, MD, and David Jaworski of Huntington Beach, CA. She was the proud grandmother of five grandchildren, James, Claire, Caroline, Eric and Katherine and great-grandmother of three.

She was also preceded in death by her four siblings, Frances, Daniel, Irene and Eleanor.
