Obituary of Helen Joan Januszewski

Mrs. Helen Joan Januszewski, 91, of Amsterdam, New York, passed away peacefully on December 29, 2020 at the Edward L. Wilkinson Residential Healthcare Facility. Helen was born on June 8, 1929 in Amsterdam, and attended local schools, graduating from Wilbur H. Lynch High School with the class of 1947.  

In 1947 she was united in marriage to Edward Januszewski of Amsterdam, New York. Sadly, that union lasted only 52 years until his passing in 2005. Helen was also predeceased by her daughters, Penelope Mycek and Linda Billington, her brother, Edward Wozniak, as well as by her sister Dorothy Karuzas.

Helen was employed by Ward Products, and also at the P&C Supermarket for over ten years. A kind-hearted woman, Helen enjoyed spending time with her family. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching television, playing word puzzles, and listening to Polka music. Helen was a long-time communicant of Saint Stanislaus Church. She will be sorely missed by all.

She is survived by her son-in-law Daniel Mycek; her three grandchildren, Heather (John) Jacobs, Darryl (Nicola) Mycek, and Jason (Melissa) Mycek; and her seven great-grandchildren, JD, Kaitlyn, Michael, Marisa, Nathaniel, Julia, and Eric. Helen is also survived by her special friends Dennis (Rina) Mycek, Eva, and Adrian.

Funeral services will be held privately, at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her memory to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, 14600 Weston Parkway, Cary, NC 27513 or at v.org
