February 16, 1930 — July 31, 2022
Gloria N. Zaborowski Staszak passed away peacefully on July 31, 2022. She suffered from crippling arthritis and dementia.
Gloria was born on February 16, 1930, to Frank and Francis Zaborowski. Gloria grew up in the north end of the Polish neighborhood. She was a graduate of Woodward High School. In the early 1950's, she worked in the office of AFL-CIO. From the 1960's until her parents' deaths, she ran their household as well as her own. She was a member of St. Hyacinth Catholic Church.
Gloria was preceded in death by her husband, Theodore R. Staszak; her parents and her brother, Ronald Zaborowski. Gloria is survived by her daughter, Linda Karazim (Thomas); her grandson, Todd A. Karazim, Esq. (Amanda) and great-grandchildren, Brady, Kenzley, Jackson and Beckett, and her sister-in-law, Judy Zaborowski.
I was told that when a person has dementia, you lose her a little bit everyday. That's not exactly our situation. Some days she was Mom, then many days she faded; then, Mom was back, briefly. I don't know which was worse. I do know that the hurt, pain, sadness is everyday and it just doesn't stop, not even now. I know I will keep one ear listening to see if she needs me in the middle of the night, always. I love you, Mom. Everyday, I missed you a little more. Now, I will miss you forever.
Private family viewing and Funeral Mass were held for Gloria. Gloria was laid to rest next to her husband, Theodore at Calvary Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Francis de Sales High School in Gloria's memory.
