" VIRGINIA BEACH MANNERS"

Kathleen Jane Wojnarowski, age 82, of Audubon NJ passed away peacefully on August 13, 2026.  She was born in Philadelphia on July 12, 1944 to Maurice and Catherine (Manion) McHugh.  She spent most of her life in the Wissinoming section of the city as an only child, but grew up surrounded by aunts, uncles, and many close friends.

Kathleen went to St. Bartholomew's elementary school and then graduated from St. Hubert's High School. While in school, she considered entering the convent, but ultimately found a job as a key punch operator at Provident National Bank.

She married her soul mate, Frank Wojnarowski, on December 5, 1964.  Together they made a home and built a life centered on family and love.  They welcomed seven children into the world.  Frank passed away suddenly in 1999 after a brief illness.  Kathleen found herself in the workforce again.  She obtained a position as a medical scheduler at Abington Hospital's Internal Medicine Practice.  She loved her job, the people, and most especially "her doctor", Kevin Zakrzewski.
Kathleen loved Virginia Beach, family game nights, sitting on the front porch during thunderstorms, playing the slots at the casino, and reading.  She also loved traveling, especially cruising with her best friend Tricia Rowan.

Kathleen is survived by her seven children; Joanne (Darren), John (Karen), Jeanne (Vinay), Jayne (Steve), Jil (Rob), Janet (Heidi), and Jay (Annie).  She also leaves behind seven grandchildren; Candice, Ian, Jenna, Patrick, Brandon, Stephen, and Katie and one great-grandson, Apollo.  She also leaves behind a wide circle of extended family and friends.
