Jeannette E. (Gingras) Koncewicz, 77, of Newington, passed away on Friday, January 28, 2022 at home. She was the beloved wife of John Koncewicz for 40 years, but were together for 51 years.
Jeannette was born and raised in New Britain in the 1940's, and was the youngest child of the late Paul and Lillian (Wolf) Gingras. She moved to Newington in the 1980's.
Jeannette was a cautious person. She would always follow a recipe very carefully and regularly have cook-offs in the kitchen with her husband. She was incredibly loving, selfless and wonderfully patient. Always supportive no matter how crazy our ideas were, through her care and kindness, we knew she loved us unconditionally.
Known for her humor and one liners, Jeannette was often ready to crack a joke about an awkward situation and express humor about the silliness of life. She enjoyed organizing and found great satisfaction in constantly rearranging things. She took pride in maintaining her plants and flowers and could be found watching an episode of her favorite soap opera. Jeannette enjoyed the simple things in life and found great joy in spending time together as family, enjoying a delicious meal she prepared and time with her grandchildren. Jeannette was a remarkable woman who showed strength and a love for her family.
She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be missed dearly by all of her family. She is survived by two daughters, Marlene Koncewicz- Butler and her husband Joseph G. Butler, V, of Athens, GA, and Stefanie Stanek and her husband Jonathan, and their children, Adam and Luke, all of Berlin, and several nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by two brothers David and Robert Gingras.
A funeral service and celebration of life will be held later this year. The Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Burritt Hill, 332 Burritt St., New Britain is serving her family. To share your sorrow, please visit us at www.duksa.net.
