Josephine Mazurkiewicz Obituary
Born: March 29, 1948
Died: January 2, 2021
Josephine "Jo" Mazurkiewicz, 72, of Marengo, died on January 2, 2021.
Jo was born in Germany on March 29, 1948 to parents Thaddeus and Ruth (nee Mandel) Duciewicz. While attending a wedding, Jo caught the eye of Chester Mazurkiewicz and it was love at first sight! They married on June 6, 1970 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past year. Jo was a shining example to her family of what a strong woman should look like. She was strong willed, affectionate, thoughtful, and kind. She had the uncanny ability to make you feel welcomed and loved. Her family was her whole world, and she was always ready to go on an adventure with her grandchildren. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
Jo is survived by her beloved husband, Chester Mazurkiewicz, her children, Jeannette (Charles) Perreault, Michael (Patricia) Mazurkiewicz, Christopher (Corissa) Mazurkiewicz, her grandchildren, Joseph, Cameron, Madison, Dylan, Sophia, Chase, Jesse, Bella, and Jax, her siblings, Christine (Fred) Kriesider, and Alice Costello, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Jo's name to the Huntley Animal House www.animalhouseshelter.com/donate/
Services will be private.

Chester, I only had the honor of meeting your lovely wife on a couple of occasions but it was enough to see how wonderful of a person she was. You and your family are in my prayers.

Jo was such a special lady! She always was ready to help at the Raue Center for the Arts. She was an usher along with helping with many of our special events, from dressing up at Halloween to guide those on a scavenger hunt, to the Stargazers Gala, to the early morning shift at the Bob Blazier Run for the Arts, all to benefit the Raue Center for the Arts.
Jo will be missed by all that knew her!
Chester is in our thoughts and prayers, along with the entire Mazurkiewicz family!!
