Maria T. Wierzbowski Scotia - Maria T. Wierzbowski, 83, passed away peacefully on November 17, 2025, at Ellis Hospital.
Born on June 11, 1942, in Hamburg, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Jan and Salomea (nee: Mazgaj) Szostak. Maria spent her early years in Wieprz, Poland where she attended school. Maria's journey brought her to the United States in 1968, where she immediately found a job as a master seamstress, a trade that allowed her to express her creativity and precision. Her industrious nature later led her to employment with General Electric Research and Development as a cleaner. Maria's passion for helping others also inspired her to study nursing.
