Lucy Mary Ptasinski

It is with deep love and sadness that the family of Lucy Mary Ptasinski announces her passing on November 12, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on July 25, 1950, in New York City, New York, Lucy was the beloved daughter of the late Stefan Wengorek and Alice (Niksa) Wengorek. Lucy was born and raised in New York City, where she developed her lifelong love for the people and spirit of the city. In the 1980s, she made her home in Bergen County, New Jersey, where she and her husband settled in East Rutherford, building a life filled with love, laughter, and family. Lucy was a dedicated customer service representative for Con Edison for over forty years. Her professionalism, compassion, and warm personality left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. She was known for greeting everyone she met with a kind smile and a caring heart, forming friendships that endured throughout her lifetime. A devoted wife, mother, and friend, Lucy was happiest when surrounded by her family. She cherished family vacations, trips to the beach, and day trips to New York City, where they often enjoyed musical theater performances together. Lucy was also an avid reader, especially of mystery novels, and found joy and relaxation in the pages of a good book. A woman of great compassion, Lucy was a lifelong animal lover who rescued and cared for many pets throughout her life. She was a faithful supporter of several charitable organizations close to her heart, including the ASPCA (https://www.aspca.org/), St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (https://www.stjude.org/), and the Wounded Warrior Project (https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/). In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to one of these charities in Lucy's memory. Lucy was a devoted parishioner of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Church in Wallington, where she found strength and comfort in her faith. Lucy is survived by her loving husband of forty years, Konrad Jan Ptasinski, and their cherished daughters, Anielka Elizabeth Ptasinski and Gabriella Katherine Ptasinski, along with Gabriella's husband, David Michael Moore. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Christa Wengorek, wife of her late brother Edward Wengorek, as well as many adoring nieces, nephews, and cousins who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts. Lucy's kindness, warmth, and love of life will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her legacy of compassion and devotion to family will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
