Aldona immigrated to the United States as a young adolescent. While raising her family, she attended school and became an LPN going into cardiac nursing at St. Vincent Hospital for over 40 years. It was there, she built friendships and always brought laughter with her and to those around her.
She had truly a great and warm sense of humor. Her day-to-day life was enjoyed by either tending to her garden or going to the beach on a sunny day. Her cherished enjoyments in life were dancing, cooking and poetry, which she had several works published.
She was a loving mother and cherished grandmother, who held a great position and impact on our family. She will be forever loved and missed.
