Janina was born in Zalawiszcze, Poland on February 15, 1927. She married on October 26, 1946 in Weiden, Germany. They Immigrated to Canada in 1951. She worked at Jacob Crowley and Co. until the factory closed in the mid 80’s. She then was a stay at home housewife who enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
