Marie Zawerczuk (nee Coben), 74, peacefully passed away on Friday,  April 29, 2022 at home in Springfield Township.

She is survived by husband Andrew Zawerczuk; daughter Andrea Zak of Santa Monica, CA; son Paul Zawerczuk, his wife Jessica, and creative grandson Benjamin of Brick, NJ; and sister Maxine Coben of Brick, NJ.

Raised in Bloomfield, Marie spent the last 35 years in Springfield.

A devoted wife and mother, Marie enjoyed time with her grandson, planting a summer vegetable garden, puzzles at the kitchen table, dinners out at the Union Plaza Diner, and all things Christmas. Her pre-deceased Westie Spooky was her loving shadow for 15 years. 

Family and friends are invited to the Thursday (5/5) 4pm-8pm funeral at Higgins and Bonner Echo Lake Funeral Home 582 Springfield Ave., Westfield and a Friday (5/6) 10:00 AM Mass of Christian Burial at St. James Roman Catholic Church (Springfield).
