Obituary for Sophie M. Jasienski (Kosierowski)
Sophie M. Jasienski, of Clearfield, died January 11, 2015 at the Mountain Laurel Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at the age of 90.
During WWII, Mrs. Jasienski answered her country's call and worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. She was involved with the manufacturing of the Catalina PBN-1 Amphibious Airplane as a Riveter. Her job was made famous by the "Rosie the Riveter" WWII poster. After the war she worked at the General Electric Plant in Philadelphia.
Residing in the Philadelphia area for several years, she met her husband, married, and moved to Avondale where she raised her family. Sophie was dedicated to church, family, and friends. She was part of the Sodality of the Blessed Mother for the Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Wilkes Barre, and in Avondale was part of the Altar and Rosary Society of the St. Patrick's Church of Kennett Square. Her home was warmly open to all family and friends. Food followed as part of the fellowship. She would make her famous Polish dishes with ease and share with anyone who would participate. She was a modest chef of Polish culinary delights. Often involved with any church function that needed food or a helping hand.
