Davinia Brzezinski

Davinia Brzezinski, age 75, widow of Casimir Brzezinski, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on March 2, 2004.

She is survived by her children, Maria (Faustino) Sergiacomi of Altoona, Wisconsin, John Brzezinski, Kansas City, Missouri and Elena (Christian) Björck, Apple Valley, Minnesota. In addition, she is survived by her sisters, Agnese Franchi and Antonietta Pellei, Offida, Italy, her grandchildren, Robert Sergiacomi, Cristina (Justin) Barter, Corinna Sergiacomi, Lea Sergiacomi, Michael Brzezinski, Michelle Brzezinski, Elissa Björck and Cassandra Björck and her great grandchildren, Alex Sergiacomi and Aidan Barter.

Although Davinia grew up in Italy and left at the age of 18 at the end of WWII to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina for 10 years and later to Chicago, Illinois until retirement in Wisconsin and Minnesota, she always remained deeply rooted in her Italian heritage. Davinia was a devoted homemaker and dedicated her life to her family. She immensely enjoyed volunteering at the Saint Bede Monastery and St. Mary's Church for over fifteen years. We will miss her dearly and feel reassured that she will reunite with her deceased husband, Casimir.
