Wanda E.A. Kokoszka

Wanda E.A. Kokoszka, 74, wife of Stanley J. Kokoszka of Newtown, died November 12, in her home. She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., May 21, 1938, a daughter of Wanda (Randic) and Frank Keating.

Mrs Kokoszka worked for many years for National Airlines where she developed a love for traveling. She lived in Westport from 1964 to 1998 and served the community as PTA president, member of the library board, the RTM, and by working in the Westport school system.

She loved to be with family. Her sharp wit and overflowing zest for life will be greatly missed by all that knew her. She also had a great appreciation for American Indian Culture. Mrs Kokoszka loved wearing and collecting hats of all kinds, and had a vast owl collection, too.

She was a good wife, loving mother, and great friend. “Rest in peace, Wanda. We love you always and forever.”

In addition to her husband, two sons, Stanley Kokoszka, Jr, and his wife Miriam, of Newtown and David Kokoszka of Westport; and three cherished grandchildren, Natasha, Victoria, and Stanley III, survive Mrs Kokoszka.

In keeping with Mrs Kokoszka’s wishes, there will be no services.

The Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown, is serving the family.
