Gertrude was the daughter of the late Casmir and Sophie (Mokski) Pilkewich and the widow of Edward W. Bienkowski. She was predeceased by her sisters, Cecilia Pilkewich, Helen (Jack) Donoghue, and Sophie (Everett) Rogers.
Gertrude is the beloved mother of Laurie (J. Edward) Shadoin, Edward C. Bienkowski, and Donna J. Stanley, the cherished grandmother of Christin Shadoin and J.Edward Shadoin Jr., and the adored great-grandmother of Audrey Simpson. She is also survived by her dear nieces, nephews, and brother, Charles Pilkewich.
Gertrude graduated from Seymour High School and the University of Bridgeport Fones School of Dental Hygiene. While she practiced dental hygiene for many years, her greatest love was spending time with family and friends. She also enjoyed gardening, baking, oil painting, music and her dogs and granddogs.
A Memorial Mass and Celebration of Life will be held in the near future. A private interment will be at the South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth, Florida.
The family wishes to thank everyone for their words of comfort during this difficult time. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.forestlawnnorth.com.
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.
