She was an animal lover who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, needlepoint nights, scrap booking, sewing and spoiling her grandchildren.
Survivors include her devoted husband, William Warecki; four loving children, Christine Warecki, Cynthia (Warecki) Rock, Mark Warecki and Brian Warecki; a brother, Norman Benson; and six grandchildren, Nathan, Reagan, Ella, Braden, Matthew and Gavin, who loved their Nana.
