Bronisława Wilczek, aged 82, a resident of Orland Park and originally from Groń, Poland, passed away peacefully. She was the much-loved wife of the late Jan and a devoted mother to Mary (Stan) Szymanski and Wesley Wilczek.

A cherished Babcia, Bronisława adored her grandchildren: John Paul (Karolina), Paul (Alyssa), Kasia (Rafał) Salabaj, Mateusz, Sebastian, and Dawid, and took great joy in being a Pra-babcia to Maya and Josephine.

She was a loving sister to Józefa and the late Maria, Jąn, Ludwina, and Bronisław. Bronisława leaves behind many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends who will fondly remember her warmth and kindness. Her legacy of love will forever remain in their hearts.
