It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of our beloved Mother, Paulette Kay Kaniecki, age 76, on Sunday May 3, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband Chester, of 53 years.
Paulette was a woman with a heart of gold. She was always there to lend a helping hand in any situation a family member, friend or even a complete stranger needed.
She was a living example of kindness and compassion. A dedicated mother and grandmother, she treasured and embraced every moment with her children and granddaughters.
Paulette worked 18 years for the Bergen County Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Rockleigh New Jersey as their Food Service Manager. A position she loved, she made sure her residents were taken care of and nurtured. Just another example of her tender spirit.
She is survived by her children, Deborah Kaniecki of Northvale, Stephanie Buldo and her husband Chris of River Vale, and Chester Kaniecki Jr and his wife Michelle of Groton, CT. Her three beautiful granddaughters, Melissa, Samantha and Taylor. Her brother Craig, nieces, nephews and precious life-long friends.
Arrangements will be private due to these difficult and trying times. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Paramus Veterans Memorial Home 1 Veterans Way Paramus, NJ 07652.

Fly high, Paulette!! I’m sure Chet was there to greet you with open, loving arms!! Sending love to the family!!

Corinne & Mike Jones
I am very sorry to hear this. Paulette was kind, compassionate always. She open up her home for me when I was in 9th grade to live with your family and be part of your family shows what wonderful woman she was. I know Chester was there to greet her along with Mr. & Mrs. Bryda and Richard when she entered heaven.
Our prayers and condolences to all of your family.

Paulette, although it’s been a lifetime since I’ve seen you and your siblings, I can never forget your bright smile whenever we and our cousins from the Bronx would get together. Rest peacefully in Paradise, after your life’s journey.
