Eleanor A. (Plonski) Unwin, 89, of Kensington, Conn., passed away peacefully Thursday, April 21, 2016, in Scranton, Pa. She was the widow of Robert J. Unwin.
Born in Shickshinny, Pa., she was the daughter of the late Francis and Josephine (Mieczkowski) Plonski. Eleanor attended local schools in the area and graduated from High School in Harford, Pa.
She then moved to Connecticut and began working for Emhart. Eleanor worked there for 44 years, retiring in 1988.
Eleanor was an avid fan and follower of the UConn girls basketball team. Eleanor enjoyed making Thanksgiving dinners for her family. She was an excellent cook, rarely needing a cookbook.
She was a member of St. Paul's Church and the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 10732, Berlin, Conn.
Eleanor is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Barbara Unwin, Berlin; her sister, Phyllis B. Plonski; her brother and sister-in-law, Edward S. and Florence Plonski; sisters-in-law, Lillian and Eleanor Plonski; five grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter; and many nieces, grandnieces, nephews and grandnephews.
She was predeceased by her sister, Jean Piechota; and her brothers, Joseph, Chester, Stephen and John Plonski.
We are especially grateful for the loving care provided by her niece, Christina Sezer; and her husband, Ilhan.
As a wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother, she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday at 11:30 a.m. at St. Paul Church, Kensington, Conn. Memorial donations may be made to the Ladies Auxiliary of VFW Post 10732, 152 Massirio Dr., Berlin, CT 06037.
