Eugenie A. Kuczarski

Eugenie A. “Gene” (Adamski) Kuczarski, 96, peacefully passed into the arms of Jesus on Friday, December 6, 2019 at Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing. Born July 7, 1923, daughter of the late Anthony and Victoria (Leonowicz) Adamski, Gene was a lifelong Springfield resident and a communicant of the former Our Lady of the Rosary Church. She attended Springfield public schools and graduated from the High School of Commerce. As a young woman Gene sang in the church choir, where she met her beloved Frank. They were married in 1946 and shared sixty-six years of love. Gene was devoted to her family and will especially be remembered for creating warm and lavish holiday celebrations. A marvelous cook and an accomplished seamstress, she was also an avid reader and loved gardening, oil painting and playing bridge. Gene was active in the Polish Womens’ Alliance Group 422, where she spent many years co-chairing the annual Polonaise Ball and serving on numerous committees. She was also a member of the Springfield Garden Club and served as president. Gene was a real estate agent for the former Pioneer Valley Realty, then White Realty, and Eleanor Brega/Beth Curto Realtors. In later years, she worked tirelessly as bookkeeper for Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Gene traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe with her husband, Frank. She always looked forward to their annual trips to Nassau, Bahamas and Madison, CT. Gene was predeceased in 2012 by her beloved husband, Frank E. Kuczarski, and in 2018 by her cherished daughter, Melanie Nicholl. Gene is survived by her loving children, Karen McGettrick and husband Paul of Springfield, Franklin Kuczarski and wife Mary of Springfield, Donald Kuczarski and wife Lisa of Pittsfield, and son-in-law, Dr. Robert Nicholl of Fort Meyers, FL; her precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Angela Kuczarski, Brant McGettrick, his wife Colleen, and their daughters Parker, Paige, Ashlyn and Brynne, Christopher Kuczarski, his wife Charlene and their daughter Kellyn, Devon McGettrick and wife April, and John Kuczarski; her sisters, Helene Szewczyk of Suffield, CT and Antoinette (Toshi) Pieniazek of Indian Orchard; and a large extended family of nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her sister Delphine Skiba, and her brothers, Edwin, Eligio (Elgene) and Norbert Adamski. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at East Village Place and to the nurses and aides at Loomis Lakeside for their loving dedication to Gene’s care. They provided her with much happiness and truly became her second family.
