Anna Kosierb

July 26, 1930 - December 17, 2020

Anna Kosierb (nee Malysa) of Garfield passed away at home with her devoted daughter and son-in-law by her side. Anna was born in Przyszow, Poland and emigrated to the US in 1977. She lived in Passaic before settling in Garfield in 1993. A woman of strong faith, Anna was a parishioner of Holy Rosary RC Church in Passaic for over 40 years. She especially loved pilgrimages to "Polish Czestochowa" in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. On these bus trips, she could be found commanding the microphone and entertaining passengers with hours of stories, jokes, and classical Polish poetry recited from memory. Anna had an impeccable work ethic and was employed by International Veiling Corporation in Clifton before retiring at the age of 80. Above all, Anna cherished her family whom she showered with boundless love, endless yard sale deals, and her world-renowned pierogi. She was preceded in death by her husband Jozef and children Janusz, Adam, Ewa, and Michal. Anna leaves behind her daughter Jolanta and son-in-law Arkadiusz of Garfield, many grandchildren, including Lukasz (Kathryn) Kret of Henderson, NV; and Justyna (Ian) Leverich of Saugerties, NY, and many great-grandchildren in the US and Poland.-- The Kret family would like to publicly thank The Garfield Police Department and Emergency Services for all of the assistance they've provided the last several weeks.
