Anna Barcz Obituary
Anna (Kuzmine) Barcz, 87, of West Reading, passed away Wednesday, October 16, 2013 at the Berkshire Center in Exeter Twp.
Born October 5, 1926 in Malye Gorby, Russia, she was the daughter of Gregoire and Paraskeve (Bakrycheff) Kuzmine. She was the wife of the late Edward Barcz.
During World War II, she was forced to work in the labor camps in Germany, and after the war relocated to Paris, France, where she met and married Edward. They then moved to the United States and proudly became American citizens.
She was employed as a private cook for a prominent Berks County family and later worked at Hollywood Cleaners in West Reading.
Although she was never able to enjoy the company of her brother, who she lost during the war, and her sister, who lived in Europe, she had friends and neighbors nearby who loved her dearly.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Bernardine Fransciscan Sisters Development Fund, 450 St. Bernardine St., Reading, PA 19607. Funeral services will be Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in the Gallman-Sonoski Funeral Home, Inc., Reading. Burial will be in Aulenbach's Cemetery.
