Edna Mae Kujawski

Edna Mae Kujawski of Cass City, age 80, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, July 5, 2022 in Gagetown. Edna was born May 1, 1942 to the late Steve and Katheryn (Lutomski) Karpovich. On May 9, 1987 Edna married Gordon Kujawski at St. Priscilla Catholic Church in Livonia. From a young age Edna had a heart to help others. She earned a degree in education from Madonna College and went on to receive a Master's Degree from Eastern Michigan University honing her teaching skills to teach in various middle schools in Michigan. Edna's greatest teaching experience was in Ghana, Africa, where not only did she impact the lives of students there, but her life was forever impacted by those she taught. Baking wedding cakes was a love she had that included baking her own wedding cake, and she even held a grooms cake in her lap as she flew to Arizona for her stepson's wedding. Family, faith and friends were all important to Edna. She was very active in her church, running the Food Pantry at St. Agatha Church and helping wherever she saw a need, which contributed to being the 2012 recipient of the Bishop Murphy Award from the Diocese of Saginaw. As an avid gardener retiring at fifty-five gave her the opportunity to spend more time with her flowers and appreciating her Polish - Ukrainian heritage. After being away from home for many years, Edna returned to her hometown of Cass City with Gordy twenty years ago to enjoy living in the country. Left to cherish Edna's memory is her loving husband of thirty-seven years, Gordon, four step-sons, Kevin of Livonia, Greg and his wife Justine, Matthew and David Kujawski all of Arizona; seven grandchildren and nephew, David Karpovich and his wife Holly of Cass City. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Stephen Karpovich.
