From the SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE, April 27, 2008:
SOUTH BEND - Evelyn A. Garbacz, 88, of Copperfield Drive, went home to be with the Lord on April 24 in her daughter's home. She was born to Aloysius and Mary (Bednar) Aftowski in South Bend on March 23, 1920. In 1941 she married John Kryzyzewski. They had a daughter, Joyce. John was killed during WWII aboard the U.S.S. Indianapolis in 1945. Evelyn married John Garbacz of the "Golfing Garbaczes." They had two sons, John and Kevin, and a daughter, Kim.
Evelyn was preceded in death by both of her husbands, her parents, a sister, Marie (George) Smith, and a brother, Jack Aftowski. She is survived by two sisters, Virginia (Daniel) DeVreese of South Bend, Patricia (Ray) Czarnecki of South Bend; in-laws, Eunice Aftowski of South Bend, Mike (Georgia) Garbacz of South Bend and Nick (Millie) Garbacz of Palm Beach, FL; four children, Joyce Wisemiller of South Bend, John (Connie) Garbacz of South Bend, Kevin Garbacz of Crown Point and Kim (Brian) Lundgren of Savannah, GA; two stepsons, Davie (Maggie) Garbacz of Pahala, HI, and Larry (Barbara) Garbacz of Washington Township, MI. Also surviving are five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Evelyn spent her time here on earth loving and supporting her family and causes in which she believed. She will be remembered for her generosity, hospitality, her joy and love for her family, and her thoughtfulness toward those less fortunate. She was always willing to share, whether she had a lot or very little. Evelyn loved everything growing, whether it be a person or a plant. She worked for years for Ernie's Supermarket and Thrifty-Mart, from which she retired. Even then, one of her joys was to stroll through the aisles shopping and visiting with everyone she knew. The family thanks all the wonderful people who served Evelyn in her last season here on earth.
