Margaret Siwik (nee Poremski) “Aunt Margie” age 98 of Wharton died peacefully on Monday, October 11, 2010 at home.
She was born in New York City having lived in Mt. Vernon, NY for sixty-six years having lived in Westwood, NJ before moving to Wharton, NJ five years ago.
Aunt Marge, as she was known to just about everyone, met the love of her life in New York City. His name was Stanley Siwik and he was renting a room from Margie’s aunt. Margie was only seventeen years old when they married in September of 1929 at St. Adalberts RC Church in the Bronx, New York. Stanley opened a restaurant called “Stanley’s” in Mt. Vernon and later had a restaurant called “Sewik’s” also in Mt. Vernon. Margie worked by her husband’s side for many years.
A devout Catholic, Margie belonged to Our Lady of Victory RC Church, Mt. Vernon, NY, St Andrews RC Church, Westwood, NJ and most recently St. Marys RC Church, Wharton, NJ. In her latter years Margie wasn’t able to get out very much and would watch Mass on television everyday.
Aunt Margie was an accomplished seamstress. She shared her love of sewing in many ways. She devoted a great deal of time to teaching the blind how to sew. She made prom gowns, christening gowns, and loved making intricate doll clothes. She could take the smallest piece of material and turn in into something spectacular.
Her skills weren’t limited to sewing. Aunt Margie was a terrific cook. She loved to bake and would make the best chocolate chip and butter cookies. She also made huge quantities of chocolate and rice pudding she would share with her many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and great-grand nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband of sixty-seven years Stanley Siwik(1986); she was predeceased by her brother, Joseph Poremski and sister Ann Sherbinski; she is survived by one loving sister-in-law Cecilia Poremski of Yorktown Heights, NY; many much loved nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and great-grand nieces and nephews.
