Dolores Kozlowski, 82, of Wayne, passed away on Friday, October 12, 2012.

Dolores Kozlowski was born in Nanticoke Pennsylvania. Mrs. Kozlowski lived in Wayne, New Jersey for 55 years and was a nurturing wife, mother and homemaker who loved life, her four children, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild. Dolores was the center of our family, always making each one of us feel special and loved. All members of the family would go to her when faced with major life decisions and she would give expert advice filtered with love. She was keeper of all family news and loved to tell her children and grandchildren about family history – especially about growing up with her four sisters in a small coal mining town during the depression. Every year on her children’s birthday she would tell the story about the day they were born in great detail. Her many hobbies included Polish cooking, reading, bingo and various games of chance. She was known by her family for cooking her legendary shrimp salad, red beet soup and chicken noodle soup. Every grandchild remembers Grandma tucking them in to bed at night, scratching their backs and telling them the “Little Green Bug” story. Her favorite hobby was her house, where she fed the birds and just about any other living thing in her magical backyard. Our family was so blessed to grow up with such a wonderful mother and father.

Dolores was predeceased by her loving husband of 44 years, Joseph Kozlowski who passed away in 1993, her four sisters Gertrude Petito, Mary Kozlowski, Elanore Antolik and Lottie Gucwa. She is survived by her four loving children Joseph Kozlowski and his wife Linda of Rochester NY, Renee Wefer and her husband Gene of Ocean NJ, Sharon Heffner and her husband Robert of Somerset NJ, and Ken Kozlowski and his wife Colette of Wayne.
