Sandwich/Worcester - Jane Dolores (Werona) Kosciuczyk, age 92, of East Sandwich, formerly of Worcester, MA - passed from this life on May 20, 2015 at Cape Cod Hospital, in Hyannis, MA. On August 5, 1950 in Worcester, MA she was united in marriage at Our Lady of Czestochowa Church to the love of her life, Alfred L. Kosciuczyk, who died August 16, 2000.
Born in Worcester, MA, she was the daughter of the late Ignatious "Ignacy" (from Rozenki, Vilna, Poland) and Constantia "Constance" (Zubrycka) Werona (from Purdanze, Poland ), one of seven children of immigrant parents. She attended St. Mary's School, Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish in Worcester, Commerce High School and Worcester Science Becker College.
Jane was a devoted wife and sister; she retired from Chemical Sales and Service Co. in Worcester, MA. She treasured her family, sharing her passion for cars with her nephew, Scott Poirier, enjoyed working in her yard, attending "open" houses with her good friend Richard Lonstein, traveling, and caring for her home. She was a truly special person, she was interested in everything and embraced life evidenced by her independence until her final days; she was always willing to learn new things, share a recipe or cleaning tip. She will be greatly missed and forever loved.
She is survived by her sister, Barbara Ann (Werona) Poirier of Hyannis, MA; her sister-in-law, Gertrude (Kosciuczyk) Ellstrom and husband Donald Ellstrom of Worcester, MA; and numerous nieces, nephews and closest friends.

Aunt Jane was a beautiful and impressive woman. She had a great eye for decor and we shared a love of Persian rugs and cats. I always think of her when I remember Cape Cod.

Jane was an incredible woman that I admired greatly. She was smart, strong, determined, beautiful, and funny (even when that wasn't her intention!). She was always eager to learn something new and had a sharp wit about her. In many ways, she was a role model for me. She taught me to never give up, even when it appears that the odds are not in my favor. Jane loved movies and television. I will always think of her with a smile when I'm flipping channels and come across some of her favorite shows/movies. I will miss her dearly and am thankful that she touched my life.

Unforgettable Aunt Jane by C.Kosciuczyk 5-22-2015
Unforgettable,iconic,incredible
are the words that describe Aunt Jane.
Images flood the memories
The white pristine interiors
Impeccable gardens
Immaculate decor
Incredible blond beehive hairdo
Luxurious in her Cadillac
Presence with a wistful smile
A deep concern
A collector of rugs and real estate.
In the way one admires a star like Hepburn,
I silently worshiped my unforgettable Aunt Jane.
Chauffeur to my uncle,
Hardworking business woman.
Cat lover.
Aunt Jane defined the word class,
She is unforgettable for sure!

My dearest Jane. We have been together since I was 3 years old. You were my protector and my surrogate mother. You taught me so much in life that no one else would take the time to do. Just like when I was 5 years old waiting on your doorstep for you to come home, I was there today but you didn't come home. Unlike when I was 5 years old and asked you "where have you been" I know where you are and I only hope and pray that you are at peace. I will miss you all the rest of my days. P.S. Your grass needs a haircut!! I love you...
