Genevieve (Kaczynski) Dyndiuk, 94, died on Monday (April 6, 2009) at Ocean View Nursing Home in Lubec, Maine.
She was born October 18, 1914 in Newington, one of five children of Polish immigrants Stanley and Michelina (Chmelewski) Kaczynski.
In 1932, she married Alexander Dyndiuk. They then moved to Bristol and later to Southington.
She was very busy working side by side her husband, Alexander, building the Dyndiuk Sport, including sewing all the fabric that covered it, and applying the several coats of adhesive to hold it together.
The Dyndiuk Sport is a small plane that was only allowed to fly once in Rocky Hill, and is now on display in the New England Air Museum at Bradley Field. She worked for the Historic Peck, Stow and Wilcox Factory-Ideal Forging in Southington during (World War II) the war.
Following the war she went to work for Grillo's Florist, a developer of many rose varieties, in Southington. She then attended the Boston School of Floral Design, and went on to own and operate her own florist business in Southington for ten years. Before moving to Maine she worked for Allied Control in Milldale, where she soldered delays for government projects.
She was a very active member in The Degree of Pocahontas (Improved Order of Redman). Later Jennie and her husband became very involved with visiting Native American tribes and learning their customs especially in the Mohawk Trail area of Massachusetts.
During all this busy time she never lost her love for her flower gardens. Her gardens were as beautiful in Connecticut as they were in Maine. When they moved to Maine they belonged to the St. Croix rock hunter's club.
She was predeceased by her husband of 42 years, Alexander Dyndiuk Sr.; two sons, Alexander Jr. and Chester; a brother, Stanley Kaczynski; two sisters, Helen and Mamie, and a brother-in-law, Ted Dyndiuk and his wife Mae. She is survived by her son, Teddy and wife Karen; two daughter-in-laws, Patricia and Ann; a brother, Joe Kaczynski and Hanna Michalski; her grandchildren, Kathy and James Jones, Nancy Fitzgerald and Dean Bubar, Mike and Kim Dyndiuk, David and Cathy Dyndiuk, Linda Dyndiuk and Eric Barry, Mark and Erica Dyndiuk, Debbie and John Robb, Lisa Chittenden, and Jonathan and Janelle McClure; her great grandchildren, Jimmy, Jennifer, Steven and Holly, Christian, Brittany, Corey, Mark, Aran, Lindsay, Marina, Michaela, Alicia, and Alexander; her great great- grandchildren, Alexis, Sydney, Zachary and Samuel; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Visiting hours will be held from 10 a.m. until time of Mass TODAY (April 8, 2009) at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. with Very Rev. Eugene Gaffey Celebrant.
