Mrs. Wanda Mary Barbara (Garczynski) Grecoe, a longtime resident of Andover and beloved wife of the late John H. Grecoe, Jr. passed away suddenly at her home on Tuesday evening, December 13, 2016. She was 91 years old.
Born in Manchester, New Hampshire on December 8, 1925, Wanda was the daughter of the late Ludwik and Barbara (Kozien) Garczynski. She was preceded in death by her brothers John, Stanley S., Matthew, Walter J. and Stephen. Following an early career holding office positions at local mills, Wanda spent many years attending to her large family. Mrs. Grecoe was then employed for over 25 years in the Decedent Affairs Dept. of the IRS. An avid walker well into her 80's, she also enjoyed reading biographies, playing 45's and occasional Bingo.

She also loved discussing politics, especially with her late husband, John, and voted most recently in the November election. Above all, Wanda was a very devoted wife, mother to her six children, grandmother and great grandmother. She will be dearly missed.
