Sept. 17, 1926 - June 21, 2016
SOUTH BEND - Genevieve “Jeanne” Trojanowski departed this earth on June 21, 2016, to claim her eternal reward and be reunited forever with her many family and friends she has greatly missed.
A devoted and beloved wife, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother, Genevieve was born September 17, 1926, in South Bend, Indiana. She attended St. Stanislaus grade school, graduated from Central High School, and worked at Bendix and St. Mary's College. A devout Catholic and proud of her Polish heritage, Genevieve was a member of the Polish Roman Catholic Union of Chicago, St. Anthony de Padua Church, a longtime member and former regent of the Daughters of Isabella Notre Dame Circle 572, and served as a docent at the Northern Indiana Center for History.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Anna Sobolewski; her husband of 47 years, Clement Trojanowski; sisters, Cecilia, Veronica, Martha and Clara; and brother, Albin. She is survived by son, Mark Allan of Centerville, OH, and his wife, Lisa; daughter, Ann Trojanowski of South Bend; son, John Trojanowski of Bloomington, IN; grandson, Corey, and his wife, Nicole; and great-grandson, Deacon Trojanowski of Indianapolis; and granddaughter, Caroline Allan of Columbus, OH.
Her life will be celebrated in a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 25, at St. Anthony de Padua Church in South Bend. Friends and family may call at 10 a.m. at the church to share their stories and memories of this truly remarkable woman.

REMEMBER ME
Remember me when flowers bloom
Early in the spring
Remember me on sunny days
In the fun that summer brings
Remember me in the fall
As you walk through leaves of gold
And in the wintertime remember me
In the stories that are told
But most of all remember
Each day right from the start
I will be forever near
For I live within your heart
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Mark, Ann and Troj,
Deepest condolences from the McInernys. I literally grew up with Mrs. Troj. She always treated me with unconditional love. She also introduced me to BBQ ribs, which I will eat in her honor tomorrow. Love, Dan
