Surviving are children, Cynthia (Cindy) Kujawski (Paul) of South Bend, IN and Edward Dobrzykowski Jr. (Susan Smith) of Florence, KY, Janice Zdankus of Saratoga, CA, Lori Rogalski (Bernie) of Lisle, IL, and Elizabeth Grainger (Brooks) of South Bend, IN; daughter-in-law, Teri Peterson-Dobrzykowski of South Bend, IN; grandchildren, Erin, Ryan, Tony, Rachael, Zach, Paige, Cameron, Mia, Katie, and John; and great-grandchildren, Hannah, Harper, Andrew, Asher, Henley, and Nolan.
