Marie Wanciak, 91, passed away at her home in Lake Havasu City on
the morning of Sept. 9, 2017. She went peacefully and on her own
terms. On this day, she began her journey to join those who went
before her. She was a very kind and generous woman who will be
dearly missed but always remembered.

Marie was born on Sept. 28, 1926 in Connecticut to Peter and Johaska
Superata. She married William Wanciak and they had one son, William
Bruce Wanciak (Billy). Marie and her family moved to Lake Havasu in
1973, spending 44 years in the city she loved. In May 1978, she
endured the heartbreak of losing her only son; a loss she never
really recovered from.

Marie was a devoted member of the Catholic church. She enjoyed
collecting coins, shells, and rocks. She loved her escapades to
Laughlin, Nevada and she was a very strong, independent woman.

Marie was preceded in death by her parents, her son Billy, two
brothers, and five sisters. She is survived by her devoted nephew
Gary Zane (Veronica), her only living sister Betty Oleszczuk, plus
many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, it was Marie’s wish that donations be made to
Hospice of Havasu.
