Ruth M Lorkowski
Ruth Marie Lorkowski -- "Sweetie" left our world suddenly!
The name"Sweetie" was given to her at birth by an uncle. So apropos that it remained with her throughout her life; used by siblings, friends, children and grandchildren. Her parents were the late, William and Marie Hunsicker.
Sweetie married the love of her life, the late Stanley Joseph Lorkowski, Sr. whom she met in Dover, New Jersey. They raised five children in New Jersey, then the family moved to Pennsylvania. After 20+ years in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, the next home became Summerfield, Florida.
Sweetie loved to dance, to laugh, to enjoy life! She was
happiest when surrounded by family with her hands covered in flour and making something delicious in the kitchen. Always enjoying the latest in food and fashion; new recipes and styles were her simple pleasures. Her faith was a cornerstone in her life. Attending services, volunteering, helping those less fortunate; these were tasks she cherished and values she passed to her children.
Her children were blessed with a wonderful mother who provided a warm and welcoming home, encouragement, support, even a kick in the pants when needed. Her grandchildren were treated to treasured times in the kitchen, joyful holiday events, and innumerous gatherings filled with laughter. The third generation to follow will know of her love and will have a very special guardian angel.
Sweetie, Mom, Grandma, GG will be greatly missed
by: son, Stanley, Jr., and wife, Waleska, with granddaughter, Mila; son, Timothy; son, Joseph and wife, Trish, with grandsons, Alexander and Grant; daughter, Joan with granddaughters, Johanna and Cherise with great grandson, Torin; son, Robert and wife, Denisse, with grandchildren, John and Annya; and by her very close companion, Ray Harvey. Her brothers, Richard Hunsicker and Gerald Hunsicker will miss her dearly.
Services will be held 11:00, October 23, 2021, at St. John Fisher Catholic Church, 1239 3rd St, North Catasauqua, PA, internment to follow at St. Andrew's Cemetery,
1180 Calvary Street. A memorial service will be held in Florida at a later date.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to your local food bank or donate your time where needed. Take the time to call someone you love and let them know; a friend or relative you haven't talked to in a while. One of Mom's greatest pleasures was just hearing from her
family and friends. Don't wait, call them now!
