Veronica Frankowski (Prelich), 92, of Clifton passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday morning, November 30, 2022.

Veronica was born on February 2, 1930 in Frydman, Poland and moved to the United States and first settled in Sussex County and Passaic, NJ in 1963 before moving to Clifton, NJ.

Her life was centered on faith and family. As a devout Catholic, Veronica was an active member of St. John Kanty Church in Clifton, NJ and the Polish Rosary Society.  She continually prayed for all of her family and friends.

In her spare time she enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, praying, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends. She was known for her infamous cookies.  No one left her house hungry or without extra food to bring home.  She found joy in helping others and was always forgiving, selfless, and had a heart of gold. Relaxing was not her strong suit and she kept active until the last couple of months of her life. Her door was always open for friends and family. If she wasn't home, you could find her gardening at home or someone else's house trying to teach her children, grandchildren, great-children, or friends how to garden.

Veronica was predeceased by her husband Andrzej Frankowski, her sons John and Andrew Frankowski, her daughters Helen Pisarczyk and Maria Machocka, her grandson Gregory Frankowski, her granddaughter Sonia Frankowski,  her great-grandson Andrew Pisarczyk, and her brothers and sisters.

Veronica is survived by her children—Joseph Frankowski, Josephine Rakowski (Zygmunt), Anna Dalba (Vincent), and Zofia Puzik (Norbert), fourteen grandchildren, and nineteen great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, close friends and extended family.
