Jane S. (Trela) Gwozdz entered into eternal life in the love of the Lord on June 9, 2022. She was 98 years old. Jane was born in Adams, Massachusetts on March 23, 1924 to immigrant Polish parents: Stanley and Helen (Piekos) Trela. When she was one and a half years old, she and her family moved from America to Poland at the request of her grandmother Anna Trela to operate the family farm in Pulanki, a hamlet of the town of Frysztak. In Poland Jane attended local schools. When the Second World War broke out in Poland, she and her family endured the hardships of the civilian population during the Nazi and later the Soviet occupation. In December 1946, she joined her father when he returned to the United States. In the years that followed, four of her siblings did the same. Shortly after her arrival, Jane worked briefly at the Bigelow – Sanford Carpet Company in Enfield, Connecticut. On October 30, 1948 she married John J. Gwozdz, her beloved husband of 60 years at Saint Adalbert Church. They made their home in Enfield where they raised three children. Jane was a communicant of Saint Adalbert’s and sang in its choir. After her husband died, she placed herself under the wonderful care of the Little Sisters of the Poor at Saint Joseph’s residence in Enfield where she lived for more than 11 years. Jane was predeceased by her husband John, her sisters, Emily, Eugenia, and Mary, and her brothers, Julian, Joseph, and Zdzislaw. She leaves her daughter, and son- in- law, Barbara and Michael Hill of Toledo, Ohio, her sons, Rev. John Gwozdz of East Hartford and Raymond Gwozdz of Enfield, her grandchildren, Andrea Creasy of Jacksonville, Florida and Jonathon Hill of Toledo, and her great- grandchildren Kayla and Kevin Michael Creasy of Jacksonville. Jane was a devoted wife, especially during her husband’s final years, a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be remembered for her quiet strength, her sweet and agreeable nature and her strong Catholic faith, with a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. She enjoyed reading, painting and needlepoint.
