During her life she was a member of the St. Michael’s Parish in Bridgeport, CT and St. James’ Parish in Stratford, CT. Her faith was very important to her and she prayed often to St. Anthony and St. Therese. Rose enjoyed arts and crafts, baking and cake decorating, going on trips and socializing; she was always the life of the party. Rose loved and cared for all animals, treating them as “God’s creatures”. She was especially fond of her “grand dogs”. Most of all, she loved her family, and was always there for her children and grandchildren. She was proud of her Polish heritage and kept those customs and traditions alive in her family. Survivors include her daughter, Alice (Bob) Kuskowski of Kissimmee, FL; one daughter-in-law, Linda Moleski of Guilford, CT; two grandchildren, Lori (Craig) Upton of Celebration, FL and Christopher (Terri) Kuskowski of Ansonia, CT; and three great-grandchildren, Joseph and Alyssa Kuskowski and Joshua Upton. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, one son, Ronald Moleski, and five half-siblings, Helen, Joseph, Mary, Walter and Jan. The memorial service for Mrs. Moleski will be 10:30 AM Monday, December 30, 2019, at St. James Parish, Stratford, CT with Rev. Arthur Mollenhauer officiating. Rose and Joe will be reunited, on the date of their 75th wedding anniversary, in St. Michael’s Cemetery in Stratford, CT following the service.
