Stella Nazimek

Stella (Sieminski) Nazimek, 96, of Woodway, TX, passed away on March 8, 2023. Beloved wife of Frank Nazimek, who passed away in 1991. Devoted mother of Kenneth Nazimek and his wife Diane of Woodbridge Township, NJ, daughter Cynthia McAfee and her husband Scott of Clifton, TX. Cherished grandmother of Susan Nazimek, Doug and Stephen McAfee and many nieces and nephews.
Stella was born and raised in Clifton, NJ, where she resided for 65 years. She worked full time with the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company for over 25 years. She was a parishioner of St. John Kanty RC Church, Clifton, NJ. She later resided in Little Falls, NJ, where she was an active member of the silver club and enjoyed bus rides to Atlantic City. In 2003, she moved to Newport Beach, CA, and thoroughly loved the ocean, sunshine and nearby Laughlin, NV. In 2015, she moved to Clifton, TX, to stay close to her family and met many new friends.
She worked hard her whole life, working full time while raising two children and volunteering at school. She was constantly busy knitting and crocheting hats and scarfs for everyone. Upon retirement, she produced dollhouses, birdhouses, and tissue boxes from yarn for all her friends. She was very industrious and produced over 500 knitted baby caps sending them to pediatric hospitals all over the country.
Stella kept busy and loved travel, shopping, and clothes. She enjoyed meeting new people with a smile and a sassy remark and had common sense wisdom that young people enjoyed. Stella loved to make people laugh. She was fortunate to enjoy good health and kept active her whole life.
We will miss her warmth, her energy, and her zest for life.
A memorial gathering will be held on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 starting at 10AM at the Shook Funeral Home, Clifton. A prayer service will begin at 11AM and burial of ashes will follow at St. Michael's Cemetery, South Hackensack.
