Frances G. Hirschkowitz, age 68, of Norwich, passed away unexpectedly at William W. Backus Hospital on August 21, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on January 11, 1954 to Stellario and Mildred (Sitzer) Bernardo. She married her best friend, Martin Hirschkowitz in New York, NY on February 18, 1973 and they created a wonderful life together.
Frances was the rock and matriarch of her family. She was a great cook and an excellent caretaker and homemaker. She always put others before herself. Frances was also a master organizer and planner. Everyone went to her for advice. She was a great writer and she never forgot anyone's birthday. Frances was also a Hebrew School Teacher and taught many wonderful students over the years.
Most importantly, Frances loved her family and adored her grandchildren. In addition to her loving husband Marty of almost fifty years, she is survived by her children Scott, Sarah (husband Patrick), and Joe, her grandchildren Tyler, Collin, Alex, Brie, Ellie, and Abby, her brother Michael, her dear friends Elaine and Danny Malchman, and many, many other extended family members and friends. Frances will be sorely missed by all who knew her. She is pre-deceased by her parents, her brother Eddie, and one of her favorite people in the world, her Grandma Josie.
We will celebrate Frances's life with a graveside service which will be held on Friday, August 26th at 10:AM at the Connecticut State Veteran Cemetery, Bow Lane, Middletown.
