Lottie Starowicz (Wilkosz) of Batavia, New York passed away with her family by her side on December 12, 2022 at the age of 89. She was born in Batavia on July 27, 1933 to father Leon Wilkosz and mother Bertha Wilkosz (Wrobel). She lived in the same house she was born in for almost her entire life.

Lottie was the youngest of three brothers (Leo, Stephen, and Edward), and two sisters (Ann Adamczyk and Helen Balonek).

Eulogy
Given by Mark K Star
Lottie Starowicz: July 27, 1933 – December 12, 2022
Lottie Wilkosz Starowicz was a remarkable woman. She was literally born in the house at 117 Hutchins Street and lived there all of her 89 years, except for a brief period when she and Pops lived in Jamestown. Wow, not many people can say that!
Like so many depression era children, she was a saver. If you needed something, the odds were she had one tucked away in her “Lottie Store” that she was willing and eager to share with you.
She was kind, caring and easy to please. She appreciated the smallest of gifts and treats and showed her thanks with the most beautiful smile. She often remarked “How am I ever going to repay you?”
She was fun-loving and had a great sense of humor. We all have many memories and laughs shared with Lottie that we’ll cherish always.
She and Pops had a great marriage together for 67 ½ years. They loved spending time with family and close friends. Their grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a special joy to them. Lottie was a 40-plus year cancer survivor, and as such she felt incredibly lucky to live a long and healthy life in to her late 80s, just shy of 90.
Lottie was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. She is simply irreplaceable in every way, and we will miss her terribly. However, in our hearts we know how fortunate we were to have her with us as long as we did.
Here’s to you Lottie in heaven! May you rest in peace with Pops at your side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Lottie (Wilkosz); children Gary (Deborah), James (Mary K), and Paul Jr. (Laura); grandchildren Sara (Brandon Doll), Becky, Kate, Lauren, Elizabeth, and Ryan; and great-grandchildren included Reece, Chloe, Thea, Reid, and Claire.
