Ana (Leonovich) Sieruk

Ana (nee Leonovich) Sieruk, 82, of Clifton passed away peacefully on the morning of Wednesday December 18, 2024.

            Born and raised in Encarnacion, Paraguay, Mrs. Sieruk came to the United States in the fall of 1961, living initially in Passaic and then in Garfield before settling in Clifton forty-seven years ago.

            Mrs. Sieruk was predeceased by her beloved husband, of thirty-six years, Peter Sieruk, who passed away May 28, 2006 and by two of her of dear siblings: Leon Leonovich and Nina Jaruczyk.

            She is survived by her three loving and devoted daughters: Elaine Carroll and her husband, Thomas, of Caldwell, Joleen Dickson and her husband, Andrew, of West Caldwell and Rose Ann Smyth and her husband, Michael, of Clifton; two loved siblings: Tatiana Telesh of Hopatcong and Peter Leonovich of Lancaster, PA; and by her seven cherished grandchildren: Owen Dickson, Aidan Dickson, Sofia Carroll, Devin Carroll, Fiona Smyth, Eamon Smyth and Ciaran Smyth.
