Departed: 03/24/2022 (Toledo)

Obituary Preview: Bernice V. Lewandowski passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside late Thursday (March 24th) night. She was 91. Hers was a life devoted to family: a loving mother, a wonderful Busia, and a devoted “Aunt Bert” to her many nieces and nephews.

Bernice was one of nine children born to Stanly and Frances (Portala) Napierala. She grew up “out the farms” during the Great Depression and World War II. She attended Burnham School.

In 1950, she married Eugene S. Lewandowski and they had five children. Bernice worked a variety of jobs including 20 years for the state of Ohio as an OSHA consultant. She inspected a wide range of businesses – grain elevators, steel mills, manufacturing plants, etc. She wrote long reports setting out recommendations for workers’ safety improvements.

Bernice was a great organizer: whether managing a household, running the cake booth at the Regina Coeli Church festival, or the chicken dinner at the St. Clement parish festival.

She loved to bake. She was known for her Polish coffee cakes and her chocolate chip chiffon cake. The chiffon cake was a staple at every family gathering. Her children imagine her baking her cake in heaven after learning the news of her own upcoming funeral.

Bernice was preceded in death by her husband and parents and two sons, Leonard and Robert, and her beloved grandson, Jakub Molinski. She was also preceded in death by her brothers John, Daniel, Joseph, and Roman and her sisters Lucille (Fritz), Marie (Pawlaczyk), Helen (Slomowicz), and Dorothy (Weckle).

Sharon Barbara Grycza - August 05, 1935 - February 04, 2022

Departed: 02/04/2022 (Toledo)

Obituary Preview: Heaven has gained another angel, and our family has lost a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Sharon Grycza passed away Friday, February 4, after a battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. We'll love and miss her forever!

Sharon was born in Toledo on August 5, 1935, the only child of Theodore “Ted” and Martha (Poddany) Wojnarowski. A graduate of St. Theresa’s Elementary School and Whitney High School, Sharon also attended St. Ursula Academy. During high school Sharon worked as a “soda jerk” at a North Toledo sweet shop, where she met her husband Louis, who predicted that he would marry her. When Lou returned from a stint in the Army, Sharon married the love of her life at St. Adalbert’s Church on October 1, 1955, and they moved into their first house on Otto Street, shortly afterward settling on East Oakland Street. In 1967 Sharon and Lou moved to Grantwood Street in Blessed Sacrament Parish and raised their four children in West Toledo. Finally in 2001, the empty nesters moved to Temperance, Michigan. While raising the family, Sharon also worked in real estate, then as a customer service representative at J.C. Penney in the then-new Franklin Park Mall. Finally, she ended her work career with many years at Great Lakes Marketing.

Sharon Grycza was a terrific lady, the definition of a good person who would do anything to help someone else, and who gave great hugs! She never met a stranger and insisted that there was always room for one more person at her table. Friends and family appreciated her wonderful sense of humor, and the wise advice she gave.

Sharon’s family was the center of her life, and her memory will be treasured by all. We’ll always remember her love of decorating for Christmas inside and outside, gathering her family for summer cookouts, and vacationing at Round Lake cottages and Cedar Point (where she refused to ride the roller coasters).

She volunteered for Perpetual Adoration shifts at both Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of Mount Carmel for many years.

Sharon is survived by children Ann Marie (the late George) Muehlhauser of Huron, Louis David Grycza of Toledo, Russell (Gaye-Marlaine) Grycza of Bowling Green, and Kristin (Ryan) Metzger of Gahanna; grandchildren Jennifer Pero of Florida, Eryk (Katy) Grycza of Perrysburg, Thomas (Shelina) Grycza of Alabama, Athena Reynolds and Kimberly Marshall of Arizona, Brendan Polenchar of Gahanna, and Leo and Hudson Metzger of Gahanna; several great-grandchildren and many Poddany cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband Lou and granddaughter Katherine in 2016.

Visitation will be Saturday, February 12 from 9-10 a.m. in St. Adalbert Catholic Church followed by the Funeral Mass at 10 a.m.  Interment will be at a later date in Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements have been entrusted to Sujkowski Funeral Home Northpointe, 419-476-9176. Condolences may be shared at www.sujkowski.com.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her.

James Philip Dziewiatka - August 29, 1943 - January 22, 2022

Departed: 01/22/2022 (Toledo)

Obituary Preview: James Philip Dziewiatka, “Jimmy 9”, “Niner”, “Jim”, “Jimmy”, 78, of Toledo, passed on to be with the Lord in Heaven on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at Ebeid Hospice Residence in Sylvania.

Jim was born on August 29, 1943, in Toledo, OH to John and Eleanor (Maciejewski) Dziewiatka. Jim graduated from St. Francis de Sales High School in 1961 and attended the University of Indiana on a full golf scholarship. He was employed as a City of Toledo Police Patrolman for 10 years. A charter parishioner of St. Adalbert Catholic Church, he remained an active member at the parish throughout his lifetime. He was an Altar Server and member of various committees. Jim was so excited to have been recently asked to speak readings in Polish during mass.

Jim loved the game of golf and was an avid and scratch golfer throughout his lifetime. If he wasn’t playing, he was watching the pros on tv. He also thoroughly enjoyed cooking Polish food for friends and family, and for St. Adalbert’s. He was happy to share his authentic Polish meals at parish festivals and various other parish occasions and was always sure to bring Kielbasa and Kapusta to family gatherings. Jim was a huge fan of The Ohio State University football team, and watched every single game faithfully, providing his own commentary along the way. He had an affection for telling funny (he knew they were not funny) “dad” jokes. On special occasions with family and friends, Jim loved to enjoy one martini that he sipped for hours. Jim loved his family and his friends dearly. He never knew a stranger. Jim cherished his grandkids, and treasured spending time with them. Giving them hugs, hearing about school and the multiple sports they were involved in, and getting updates on their social lives brought him much laughter and joy.

Jim is survived by his former wife, Constance (Koralewski) of New Albany, OH; his daughters, Amy (Jeffrey) Meade of Lancaster, OH, and Jennifer (Thomas) Salamon of Pataskala, OH; his grandchildren, Joshua (“Joshy”), Emma (“Emms”), and Allison (“Gertie”) Salamon; and many cousins and dear friends.

Visitation will be held at 9:00 am on Wednesday, February 2nd, at St. Adalbert Catholic Church, 3233 Lagrange St, Toledo, OH. The funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Adalbert at 10 a.m. followed by the committal service at Calvary Cemetery.
