Halina (Lipnicki) Jerman, loving wife of Leon Jerman for almost 67 beautiful years, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 27th. She was 92 years young and absolutely adored by her husband, three children, seven grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren. Halina was born in 1930 in Wilno, Poland, where she met her dashing husband. After being orphaned as a child during WWII, she was reunited with her brothers thanks to the efforts of the Red Cross. Halina and Leon, together with their children and Leon’s mother, Maria, then moved to the United States in 1972. They settled in New Britain, where Halina worked at Holy Cross School and later Stanley Works. Devoted to her Catholic faith, Halina was a longtime member of Holy Cross Church and an active member of the Rosary Society for many years. She was best known as a devoted wife, loving mother, caring grandmother, and doting great-grandmother. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and devotion that will enrich her family for generations to come. Halina is survived by her husband, Leon Jerman; her children, Lila (and Stan) Puzio, Bożena (and Gary) Guminiak, and Christopher (and Jadwiga) Jerman; her grandchildren Dorothy (and Kevin) Foster, Christopher (and Amanda) Puzio, Isabel (and Doug) Meagher, Alex (and Taylor) Guminiak, Stephanie Guminiak, Matthew (and fiancée Evelyn) Guminiak, and David Jerman; and her great-grandchildren Noah, Carolina, Gabriella, and Elijah Foster, Cody, Ty, Catherine, and John Puzio, Annabelle, Dean, and Caleb Meagher, and Grayson Guminiak, who all will miss her dearly. She was predeceased by her parents, siblings, her grandson, Daniel Jerman, and many close friends. Calling hours will be held on Friday, September 30, from 4 - 7 p.m. at New Britain Memorial & Donald D. Sagarino Funeral Home, with a funeral to follow on Saturday, October 1, at 10 a.m. at Holy Cross Church.
