Barbara Jean (Hill) Gorski, 84, widow of Frank Gorski Jr., since 1990, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 27, 2013 at the Bristol Hospital with her family by her side. Barbara was born February 26, 1929 in Hartford and was daughter to the late Clifton and Esther R. (O'Reilly) Hill. She previously resided in New Britain before settling in Plainville. She graduated Plainville High School and had been employed by Criticon (Johnson & Johnson) before her retirement in 1993. Barbara was a parishioner of Our Lady of Mercy Church, Plainville and had been active in the Girl Scouts.
She was a devoted wife to her husband Frank who predeceased her and a devoted mother to her children. A light hearted woman, she had a loving gentle nature and a great sense of humor.
