Regina (Jeannie) Bojarski, 99, of Northville, NY, passed away on Wednesday, April 19, 2017 at Albany Medical Center due to complications from a stroke.

Born in Schenectady on June 29, 1917, Regina was the daughter of Stanley and Anna Markowski Szczepanski.

She was a graduate of Mont Pleasant High School. On May 4, 1940, she married Chester Bojarski, and was a homemaker. They were married for 52 years until his death in 1992. She was also predeceased by her son, Allen Bojarski; and two brothers, Eugene and Roman Szczepanski.

Regina and her husband built a summer home on Sacandaga Lake in 1950 where they entertained many friends and relatives throughout the years, and that is where she was currently residing. She was an excellent cook, and no matter how many people she had to cook for, she always did a fantastic job. She was a lifelong member of the Church of St Adalbert and also attended St. Francis Church in Northville and St. Joseph's Church in Broadalbin. Her favorite pastime was playing the Spite & Malice card game with her neighbors and friends and playing 500 Rummy with her daughter, her favorite nephew, Richard (who always let her cheat), and his wife, Mary. She also liked to do Word Search puzzles, play bingo, go to casinos, travel every year to Las Vegas with her daughter, and was an avid Yankees fan who rarely missed a game on TV. She was a longtime member of the Channel Masters Bowling League and bowled with the GE Women's Club League also. She is also a former member of the Mt. Carmel Seniors.

She is survived by her loving daughter and best friend, Linda Bojarski; two grandsons, Gary Bojarski (Bonny) and Michael Bojarski; and two great-grandsons, Michael, Jr. and Matthew Bojarski. Also, survived by several nieces and nephews.
