Gienia "Jean" C. Pronko, 94, passed from the arms of her loving son into the arms of her Heavenly Father's on Sunday, July 17, 2022. In addition to her parents, Frank and Valera Borkowski; she was preceded in death by her husband, Myron "Mike" Pronko. Surviving are her two sons, Michael K. Pronko and Gregory P. Pronko. Jean was born in Dupont, PA August 15th, 1927, and was a member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish. When she moved to Harrisburg, she became a member of St. Margaret Mary Church. In recent years she lived part time in Harrisburg and also shared her son's home in Philadelphia. Jean was a woman of great faith in God and loved the Lord. She was a great mother, amazing homemaker and worked for the PA Department of Revenue for many years. She enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards, gardening and being a football mom. One of Jean's passions was children, and in addition to raising two of her own, she continued to express her love and care of children as a yard mother at St. Margaret Mary's School. Additionally, Jean worked with children at the Harrisburg Jewish Community Center. Jean loved to travel, whether it be camping and outdoor trips with her son Michael or theater, TV and film journeys with her son Greg. A special joy was her opportunity to work one day with her son on a film set, as a professional background actor. She will be deeply missed by her caring sons, family and friends.
