Genevieve (Jean) P. Krol Ulinski passed away peacefully on Tuesday December 27, 2016. Genevieve was born on March 17, 1922 in Utica, New York to Joseph and Ida Jozwiak.
She moved to Granbury from Upstate New York one year ago and was currently residing at The Cove at Waterview and formerly at Lakestone Terrace. Genevieve was of Catholic faith and received all the sacraments throughout her lifetime. She was a member of a strong patriotic family of all girls and was one of the first women to be sworn into the WAAC and then re-enlisted into the WAC serving additional years as a Sergeant. Jean was a very independent, loving and caring mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was always a part of family get togethers and enjoyed going to the family camps in 1000 Islands NY and Sylvan Beach, NY. Jean loved watching baseball on TV and she attended many of her great-grandson Brandon’s baseball games during his school years. Jean crocheted in her younger years and made many patterned afghans. She also enjoyed playing bingo, going to the casino, her scratch off tickets, listening to and dancing to Polish music.
Genevieve was pre-deceased by her husband and the father of her children Stanley Krol; sisters- Sally Draper; Kay Sheldon; and Jessie Bitteker; son David M. Krol; three grandchildren- Amy Krol; Alan Ptasinski; and David Krol, Jr., and a latter husband Joseph Ulinski.
