Leontyna (Czarnecki) Kosciow

Mrs. Leontyna Czarnecki Kosciow, 92, died Saturday, April 4, 2020 surrounded by the love of her family.

Mrs. Kosciow, the daughter of the late Stanislawa and Boleslaw Czarnecki, was born in Troszyn, Poland.  She came to the United States on November 5, 1951 on the Queen Mary, docking in New York City, New York.  Mrs. Kosciow immediately settled in Linden, New Jersey, where she resided until the time of her death.

Mrs. Kosciow was a devoted communicant of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Roman Catholic Church in Linden.  Throughout her life, Mrs. Kosciow had many interests that showed how talented she was.  She enjoyed crocheting, sewing and cooking and up until two months ago Mrs. Kosciow was making beautiful blankets that she would give away to family and friends.  Her sewing expertise was demonstrated in her ability to design and make her own clothes, which were always stylish and elegant.  Mrs. Kosciow loved to sing and dance, which was her favorite activity with her late husband, Walter.  Gardening and flowers brought her a great inner peace and joy.  She never had a favorite color or type of flower, as she embraced them all.  Even with all of this, there is no doubt, that the greatest part of Mrs. Kosciow’s life were her grandchildren; she simply adored them all!

Predecease by her husband, Wladyslaw (Walter) Kosciow in 1982 and her grandson, Brian Kosciow in 2018, Mrs. Kosciow is survived by her children, Walter M. Kosciow and his wife, MaryBeth Johnson Kosciow, Krystyna George and Barbara Nicodemo and her husband, Robert; her grandchildren, Alexandra Krystyna George, Tara Kamp and her husband, Kevin, Bobby Nicodemo, Blake Aaron Kosciow and Melanie Nicodemo; her brother, Walter Czarnecki and her sister, Teresa Paciorek.

Due to the COV-19 federal and state restrictions on public gatherings, all funeral services will be private.  That privacy will also extend to the prayers of committal, as well as, Mrs. Kosciow’s burial in the family plot in Our Lady of Czestochowa Cemetery in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
