Born in Conway, MA, she was the daughter of the late Peter and Teofilia (Kulis) Jerominek, the last of ten daughters raised on a dairy and tobacco farm.

She enjoyed summer time at Hampton Beach, day trips to the casino, Polish food, square dancing and the Sox. She was first and foremost a gentle, loving mother and grandmother. She will be forever missed by her children Steven (Eileen) Krol of Sunderland, Allyson (Lee) Hollenbeck of Wilmington, and Christine (Michael) Cox of Longmeadow; seven beloved grandchildren: Ashley, Amanda, Christopher, Robin, Robert, Adam and Samantha; and many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
