Obituary of Veronica B Kwiatkoski

Veronica B. Kwiatkoski of Randolph, NJ passed away on May 26, 2022 at the age of 95. Veronica was born on April 1, 1927 in Plymouth, PA to Jadwiga and Jacob Braja. She was predeceased by her husband, John Kwiatkoski, who died in 1990. 

Veronica and John had four children: Carol Ripatrazone (Louis), Paul Kwiatkoski (Janet), Mark Kwiatkoski and John Kwiatkoski (Rebecca), and five grandchildren Erin Kwiatkoski (Ulysses), Alexa Kwiatkoski, John Kwiatkoski (Alexandra), Amanda Kwiatkoski and Adam Kwiatkoski. Veronica was the youngest of nine children and the adoring aunt of many nieces, nephews and grand and great grand nieces and nephews.

Veronica was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and a devout Roman Catholic. She maintained a strong connection to her hometown of Plymouth. She had family in that area, owned the family home until recently, and developed friends from among the Wyoming Valley PA expats of northern NJ. With her family she had many relationships within the Randolph, Dover and Rockaway communities, the latter reflecting her husband’s long association with Morris Hills High School. Her priorities were focused on family and faith, and she valued a modest lifestyle without concern for social status or material gains (like a push button phone or microwave). Veronica enjoyed preparing Polish dishes and was well known for her apple pie. She lived a long and full life maintaining her astute mind and often quirky perspective throughout, with unexpected insights that might take years to reveal their truth.
