Maria Lewandowski Obituary

Lewandowski, Maria TROY Maria Lewandowski, 88 of Troy, entered into eternal life on Sunday morning, August 8, 2021, at St. Peter's Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Albany. Born in Roztoki Dolne, Poland, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Anna Kolody Gawlowski, and the beloved wife of the late Walter Lewandowski. Maria along with her husband Walter, two young sons and being with child, came to the U.S. in March of 1962, to reunite with her parents and siblings to create a better life for their family. She was a seamstress by trade and was employed with several area clothing and uniform manufacturers until her retirement in 1998. Maria was a faithful communicant of St. Joseph's Church and the former Holy Trinity Church in South Troy. She enjoyed playing cards, bingo and the occasional trip to the casinos, and mostly she loved spending time with her family and took great pride in the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren, and family members knowing where they started from. Survivors include her children, Chet and Yvonne Lewandowski, Joseph and Maria Lewandowski; daughter-in-law, Melinda Lewandowski; grandchildren, Crystal, Josh, Jonathan, Michael, Kayla, Kyle (Meghan) and Karly Lewandowski (Max); two great-granddaughters, Brianna and Natalie; sisters, Kathryn (late Stanley) Raczkowski, and Olga (late Roman) Harasymiak; and sisters-in-law, Anna Gawlowski and Rosalia Raczkowski. In addition to her husband Walter, she was predeceased by her infant daughter Maria; loving son Edward; grandson Nicholas; and brothers, Michael and Stephen Gawlowski and Antoni Raczkowski. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and friends. The funeral procession will begin at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, from the Wm. Leahy Funeral Home, 336 3rd St., Troy to St. Joseph's Church where at 9:30 a.m. a funeral Mass will be celebrated with Father Joseph Ngo. Interment will follow in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Family and friends are invited and may call on Wednesday, from 4 - 7 p.m. at the funeral home.
