Ms. Dabrowski worked as a machinist for the Hammer Manufacturing company in Linden for approximately 15 years prior to her retirement. 

In her later years, Ms. Dabrowski enjoyed watching Hallmark and Lifetime movies, and was known amongst her family for her love of television.  Above all, she mostly enjoyed relaxing and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.  Ms. Dabrowski was a caring mother, grandmother and great grandmother and she will be deeply missed by all.
