Virginia R. Barc

Virginia Ruth Barc, 91, passed away Sunday, November 3, 2019. She was born to John and Lottie Zebrowski and grew up with her brothers Edward and Leonard in a Polish neighborhood on the eastside of Detroit. She was the first in her family to graduate from high school. Virginia raised five children; Sharon and Barbara from her first marriage to Chester Sienkiewicz and Michael, Kathleen and Todd from her second marriage to Stanley Barc. She always worked full time to help support the family and retired from Comerica Bank at the age of 62. Despite all that hard work, she enjoyed reading, cooking and caring for and spending time with her family. She was always ready to help with the care of her grandchildren. She would travel out of state to meet her new grandbabies and to help out all of the new moms in our family. There was always a pot of soup on the stove on Sundays when the family would drop by to see her. She had coffee ready at all times when any of us came to visit. She loved listening to and singing along with music and loved to Polka. She was never short of partners at weddings or family gatherings. Most recently, for several years, she enjoyed residing in Onaway, MI until Stanley passed in 2007. The family was always welcome and encouraged to stay as long as we wanted. She wanted her children and grandchildren to come up and relax and was most happy when the hunters came up for deer hunting season. Virginia is survived by her children; Sharon (the late Allan) Lotoczky, Barbara (Jerry) Worley, Michael (Denise) Barc, Kathleen (Chris) Joachim, and Todd (Jenny) Barc; her grandchildren Gregory (Elaine) Lotoczky, Sarah (Paul) Pukala, Jonathan (Lauren Cress) Lotoczky, Angela Bunch, Mark Hanczaruk, Dan (Samantha Lasater) Hanczaruk, Samantha (John) Reichling, Jason Barc, Phillip (Jessica) Joachim, Natalie (Joshua) Adams, Miles Joachim, Peyton Joachim, Annie (John) Barc, Emily Barc, Alex Barc, and Lizzie (Cody Hartman) Barc; and great grandchildren Reagan Byars, Cameron Hanczaruk, Kain Bunch, Kazmiera Pukala, Zofia Pukala, Delaney Reichling, Vivian Hartman, and Dallas Adams. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Stanley, her brothers Edward (Della) and Leonard (Sally), her grandson Mark Hanczaruk and son-in-law, Allan Lotoczky. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Capuchin Soup Kitchen. On November 23, 2019, there will be a memorial gathering at Wasik Funeral Home, Inc., 11470 Thirteen Mile Road (West of Hoover) Warren, from 9:30am – 1:00pm with a Prayer Service at Noon.
