Anna Borowski, of South Canaan, died peacefully Tuesday morning in the family farm house at the age of 100.
Born December 2, 1918 in Dickson City, she was the daughter of the late Karol and Tekla Kozuczyna Borowski. She was a lifetime member of the St. Thomas More / St. Mary’s Parish Community. Prior to retirement at the age of 87, she was a Seamstress at The Katz Underwear Company in Honesdale, along with several other garment factories where she made military uniforms for World War II and tuxedos.
Along with sewing, Anna enjoyed gardening and spending time with family. She traveled the United States to make sure she attended every family members wedding. She enjoyed traveling with her brother, Stanley, and sister, Sophie, where they visited Hawaii, Alaska and toured the National Parks of the Northwest.
Anna was a very independent woman who took care of everything herself from washing her windows at the change of every season to cleaning her own chimney to chopping and stacking her own firewood and primarily heating her home with the wood. She was even featured on Channel 16’s On the Pennsylvania Road as she was spotted shoveling her own roof off at the age of 88!
Surviving are nieces and nephews Dr. Michael Rogers and his wife, April of Honesdale; Patricia Paoli and her husband, Lou of Ridge, NY; Sandy Wilsusen, Smithtown, NY; Patricia Smith and her husband, Chris, Lenexa, KS; Natalie Palkovic, Lake Ariel; Jack Borowski and his wife, Kathy of Wilkes-Barre; Dr. Greg Borowski and his wife, Rose of Clarks Summit; Sally Neuman and her husband, Bob of Islip; Susan Saladino and her husband, John of Oyster Bay, NY; Thomas Rogers, Jr, Deland, Florida; Liz Arcoleo and her husband, Ron of Rockville Center, NY; Dr. Walter Borowski and his wife, Jolanta of Clark, NJ; Stanley Borowski, Jr. and his wife, Carol of Strongsville,OH; Kathy Brzezicki and her husband Richard of Reno, NV along with many great nieces and nephews and several great great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by sisters Stella Miller, Mary Sabena, Stephanie Sabena, Sophie Rogers, and Beatrice Borowski; brothers Joseph, John, and Stanley Borowski.
The family would like to thank Anna’s caregivers, Sinclair’s Homecare, Hospice of the Sacred Heart, At Home Quality Care and especially her niece in law, April Rogers, her primary caregiver, for the exceptional love and care that was given to Anna. This team allowed Anna’s wish to remain in her own home for the remainder of her life come true.
