ADAMS, Mass. — Mrs. Loretta Jane (Kolodziej) Rysz Vinette, 89, born on July 27, 1930, daughter of the late Henry and Celia (Pliszka) Kolodziej, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 25, 2020.

She was born, raised and lived in Adams her entire life, graduating from the former Adams High School with the class of 1948.

Working in mills and housekeeping for many private clients, she married Walter Rysz on November 25, 1948, and raised her four children, Gerald, Ronald, Kenneth and Lisa with hard work and perseverance. She loved gardening, from vegetables to flowers and even trees.

She was a lifelong communicant of the Parish of St. John Paul II at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Adams, and was a member of the St. Stanislaus Rosary Sodality as well as part of the St. Stanislaus Kostka Vigil to keep the church open. Loretta enjoyed many years bowling at the Saints Hall with the ladies many a Friday night. Later in life she built her retirement home, where she lived the rest of her days surrounded by loved ones, spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, baking cookies and playing bingo.
