Frances Jaskolski – Glassport

By obits

 

On Sunday, July 25, 2021, with grace and love our beloved Frances Jaskolski became an angel. For nearly a century, everything Frances touched came from her heart. Whether it was baking cookies for a wedding, pouring chocolates for a party or making dozens of pierogies for a family holiday, she wore many hats. She was head chef, master baker, accomplished chocolatier, head den mother, war-time bullet maker, Jaskolski family CEO, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. And she did it all with love and kindness. Frances sang and danced her way through life with a two-step and a polka. She enjoyed all life’s offerings — blue skies and yellow birds, a good read and a cup of coffee, car rides across the country, game shows and warm tea. She was always a good friend and a consummate social butterfly. What filled her heart the most was her family; they were her greatest accomplishment and source of joy. Frances was proud of every one of them and anything they did.  She loved unconditionally and wholeheartedly and was a powerful example of love personified. Her smile warmed hearts, her love for life was contagious, and her beautiful soul will live in our hearts forever. She is the daughter of the late Stanislaus and Sophie Kokolski and beloved wife of the late Anthony Jaskolski. She is survived by her sons, Ronald (Cathy) Jaskolski, Raymond (Gloria) Jaskolski and Thomas (Sheila) Jaskolski; granddaughters Christina, Kim, Jennifer, Dena, Amy, Alison and Emily; great-grandchildren Kylie, Sebastian, Lliam, Jonas, Marcella, Enzo, Willow, Harper, Vance, Theodore and Myles; and a brother, Richard Kole. Frances was a member of Queen of the Rosary Parish; Christian Mothers, Rosary Society and Glassport Senior Citizens. Friends will be received at WOJCIECHOWSKI FUNERAL HOME in Glassport from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday. A funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at Queen of the Rosary Parish. Interment following Round Hill Cemetery.
