Esther C. Krupinski

Esther Cecelia Krupinski, 98 years old, passed away Wednesday, June 5, 2024 at her daughter's home in Houston, Texas. The eldest of four daughters, she was born in Dunkirk, NY on October 17,1925 to the late Francis and Cecelia Dolski.

At her father’s urging, she went to work early in life and was employed at Van Raalte and Kraft. Being a homemaker after that, she would occasionally work at weddings and banquets.

However, her ideal job was taking care of children. She had a love beyond anything else for little ones and saw many grow up, including her own grandchildren who she was always there for. Her love to be around children was truly a blessing for those that got to share in her life.

She was a woman who didn’t have much herself but would give whatever she could to others, even if it meant her going without.

Her strong belief in Jesus got her through many tough situations and she never stopped praying for her family nightly and sometimes audibly to those close to her.

In addition to her parents, she is predeceased in death by her husbands, Ernest J. Waclawski and George J. Krupinski, her sons, Richard F. Waclawski and Ronald J. Waclawski, an infant son and her sisters, Joan Adamowicz, Florence Reading and Mary Ann Czekanski.

She is survived by her daughter Lynn Marie (Charles) Saden of Houston, Texas, twelve grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter, daughter-in-law, Linda Waclawski, as well as nieces and nephews.
