Jane J. Abramowski

Jane J. Abramowski, 90, passed away in Sun City Center on February 22, 2015. She was born in June 1924 to Vincent and Wanda (Okula) Gorzelski and raised on Long Island in New Hyde Park, NY. After graduating from High School she met her sweetheart, Robbie, and they were married in 1944. They moved to Hicksville, NY where they started their lives together. Her administrative career soon changed to homemaker and farmer's wife when Carol arrived 15 months later followed by Irene in 1950. In 1954, they moved "east" to their farm in Mount Sinai where they grew spinach, lettuce and cabbage for the east coast markets. Bobby soon came along and the house in Mount Sinai became the focal point of her life until they made the permanent move to Sun City Center in 1988. Bowling was her love for many years but it changed to the small ball and the world of golf in her mid forties which later prepared her for the many memorable good times and outings in SCC. Locally, she was a member of the Polish Heritage Club and the Council of Catholic Women. Jane loved her animals too. It started with the farm cats she fed daily and the two house dogs, Spotty and Sirloin. In SCC, it changed to ducks and birds including the two ducks that were named after the youngest grandkids. They came to her backyard for years for their little daily snack. The smile it brought to her face will be remembered always. Jane was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years (2005), her daughter, Carol Abramowski Mason (2002) and Carol's husband John (2007). Jane was also the youngest and last surviving family member of 8 siblings (7 girls and 1 boy). She is survived by her daughter Irene Borchers (husband Glenn), her son Robert (wife Cynthia) along with four grandchildren - Aron Mason (wife Melissa), Nicole Abramowski, Jessica Borchers and Michael Abramowski and one great grandchild, Caroline Mason. A memorial mass will be held at 11 a.m. on March 14, 2015 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Sun City Center. A burial service will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to your local Humane Society or to the American Heart Association at 11207 Blue Heron Boulevard, St. Petersburg, FL 33716.
