Simonne A. Wojtowicz, 92, of Enfield, passed away Tuesday morning, March 4, 2025. She was born on June 2, 1932, in N. Troy, VT, to Emery and Antoinette (Arel) Ferland, given the birth name Alice S. Wojtowicz, but was known as Simonne throughout her life. She was an Enfield resident for 56 years.
She is survived by her husband of over 20 years, Stanley Wojtowicz.
Simonne was always baking everyone’s favorite treats. When you visited her, by the time you had your jacket off, she had a plate of hot food in front of you, and of course, you always left with food in hand. Some of her cherished memories included time spent with a dear friend and coworker of over 50 years, Lois Crawford. They often enjoyed vacations together and many walks.
A resident of 5 Stratton Circle, she’ll be greatly missed by all the members of the Abbewood community.
Relatives and friends are invited for visitation on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. at Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Rd., Enfield, CT. There will be a Funeral Home Prayer Service at 11:00 a.m. Burial will be at her final resting place at Hazardville Cemetery in Enfield. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to: Visiting Nurse and Health Services, 8 Keynote Dr., Vernon, CT 06066. For online expressions of sympathy, please visit www.leetestevens.com.
Remembering Ann P. Chase
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear neighbor and longtime Abbewood Homeowners Association member, Ann P. Chase, of Knollwood Drive. Ann, 88, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Ann and her husband, Brad, built a beautiful life together, sharing 68 years of devotion and love. A gifted educator, she dedicated her career to inspiring young minds in Enfield and Windsor Locks. Her warmth and kindness extended beyond the classroom—whether through her involvement in the Enfield Congregational Church, her love of music and quilting, or her countless handmade contributions to Project Linus, she left an indelible mark on those around her.
Above all, Ann cherished her family, embracing her role as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother with boundless love and wisdom. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A service to celebrate Ann’s life will be held this spring at Broad Brook Congregational Church, with details to be announced. Our thoughts are with Brad and the entire Chase family during this time.
With heartfelt condolences,
The Abbewood Homeowners Association Board of Directors
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our dear friend, Barbara J. O’Connell (Relihan). Barbara left us peacefully on Saturday, January 25, 2025, in Virginia, surrounded by her loving family. Born on May 17, 1929, in Rutland, Vermont, to the late Harold and Octavia Relihan (Bell), she was a cherished member of the Abbewood Estates community for many years.
Barbara was a vibrant part of our lives—a past President of the Enfield Claddagh Club, a dedicated book lover, and an active member of our Abbewood book club. Her creativity knew no bounds; whether painting, sewing, knitting, or quilting, she poured love into every piece she made, leaving behind beautiful keepsakes for her family and friends.
More than anything, Barbara treasured time with her loved ones. She celebrated life’s moments, big and small, and made every gathering special. Her warmth, wisdom, Irish wit, and ever-present smile brought joy to everyone around her. To know Barbara was to love her, and her kindness and friendship will be missed beyond words.
We invite all who knew and loved Barbara to join us in honoring her memory. Visitation will be held on Friday, January 31, 2025, from 4-7 p.m. at Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Road, Enfield, CT. A funeral procession will gather at the funeral home at 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 1, 2025, before a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at St. Bernard Church, 426 Hazard Avenue, Enfield. Barbara will be laid to rest at St. Bernard Cemetery.
In her memory, donations may be made to the Mark O’Connell Foundation for Lake Winnipesaukee Safety at https://www.themarkoconnellfoundation.com/take-action.
