Maria Kasica, age 88, entered eternal life on April 3, 2024. She was born in Wola Rusinowska, Poland, to Adam and Agnieszka Pokrywa (Sudol), and married Stanley Kasica in 1954. In 1960, now with three children and with Maria pregnant with twins, they emigrated to the United States, settling in Garfield, New Jersey. Maria worked as a seamstress, and loved to sew, often making clothes for her children. She had always been very devoted to her family, becoming a member of the PTA at her childrens' Catholic school, cooking them incredible meals, and helping them care for their own children as they were born.
Maria is survived by her beloved children, Matthew Kasica, Wiesia Fattrosso, Bernice Valvis and her husband James, Stanley Kasica and his wife Lisa, Mary Kuizema and her husband Duane, and Halina Kuizema and her husband Doug. She is also survived by her dear sisters Czeslawa and Jozefa, her cherished 19 grandchildren, 21 (soon to be 22) great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Maria is predeceased by her husband Stanley, her son Adam Kasica, her siblings Stanislaw, Genowefa, Teresa, Jan, and Michalina, and her son-in-law Frank Fattrosso.
