Danielle Witek

Danielle Witek, 93, of Woodbridge, NJ, passed away on Friday, October 21st, 2022, at St. Joseph’s Assisted Living Home in Woodbridge.

Danielle was born in Southeast Poland in the years before World War Two.  She was the second of seven children.  During the war Danielle and her family were taken to a Labor Camp in Germany.  When the war ended, Danielle and her family were placed in a Displaced Persons Camp to await relocation.  In this camp she met and married a former Polish Prisoner of War, Frank Witek.  With the help of the Catholic Relief Association Frank and Danielle were able to immigrate to the United States.
In Philadelphia they were able to find work, buy a home, become United States Citizens, and started their new family.  Soon thereafter, the rest of Danielle’s family came to the United States and settled in Perth Amboy.  In the mid 1950’s Danielle, Frank and their first son relocated to Perth Amboy, where her second son was born. Danielle worked for the Maidenform Co. as a seamstress.  After 40 years in Perth Amboy, Danielle moved to Toms River, NJ where she once again reunited with her sisters.  In 2021 Danielle moved to the St Joseph’s Assisted Living Home in Woodbridge. 

Danielle was a parishioner of St. Stephen’s R.C. Church for many years. Her light hearted sense of humor and unwavering dedication to her family remain her legacy.

Danielle was predeceased by her husband Frank.

She is survived by her son Frank and his wife Pat, her son Casimir and his wife Lynne, her grandson Daniel and his wife Nora, and her great grandchildren Lucy and Henry.
