 WATERTOWN - Winifred
“Winnie” Sweredoski passed away on Saturday,
September 2, 2023 at Samaritan Summit Village,
Watertown, where she had resided since 2019. She was 101 years old.
She was born on May 12, 1922 in the town of Martinsburg, the daughter of the
late Arthur Rowsam and Stella (Lasher) Rowsam. She married Mitchel Sweredoski
on December 26, 1943 at St. Peter’s Catholic
Church. They were married for 68 years until his death in 2012.
 She is survived by her five children, Deanna (Robert) Froysell, Adams; Darrell (Carrie) Sweredoski,
Watertown; Delia (Stanley) Kimmett, Lenoir City, TN; Connie (Phillip) Muldovan, Watertown; Sandy Bolton, Watertown;
daughter-in-law, Rosie (Doug) Sweredoski, Delray
Beach, FL; 13 grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren, two great-great
grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband,
Mitchel, she is predeceased by her son Doug; her grandson Scott Sweredoski; a son-in-law Gene Bolton; her brother, John
Rowsam and her sisters, Betty Lacey
and Dorothy Walter.
She was a communicant of Sacred
Heart Church, Watertown.
As a very young woman, she
learned to work hard and was always up for the challenge to help her
husband in the many successful business ventures they pursued, starting
with two dairy farms in Martinsburg and then other businesses in Lowville,
Sackets Harbor and Watertown.
At a late age in life she learned to play golf and loved it and took up
tole painting which she was very good at. She was an avid reader, liked to
play cards and dance the Polka. She loved traveling and on their 61st
wedding anniversary her six children and their spouses took them on a
Caribbean cruise, an event we all cherish. She was an excellent cook, home
decorator, seamstress and had a great sense of humor.
They lived in Delray Beach, FL
for several years and hosted many family vacations. Their door was always open and they welcomed other relatives and friends as
well.
Above all, she was adored by her
grandchildren and they loved spending time with
each other and looked forward to gathering around the organ as Grandma
played her newest song she had mastered.
She will be sadly missed by her family but we have many, many happy memories to hold on
to.
A graveside service will be held
at Lowville Rural Cemetery on September 23rd at 11:00am with a reception
immediately following at the Marine Corps League, Lowville.
