Rebecca ‘Becky’ J. Tomaszewski, 78, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 11, 2023, at Niagara Hospice House. Born in Niagara Falls, she was the loving daughter of the late Floyd M. and Jean (Vespucci) Wendell.
Becky graduated from the former LaSalle Senior High School in 1963. On April 27, 1963, she married the love of her life, John Tomaszewski, at Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in North Tonawanda, NY. She enjoyed working at Maria’s Hallmark and The Bon-Ton for several years.
Becky loved attending Polka Festivals, spending time with her friends and was a garage sale enthusiast. She was also a lifelong Elvis superfan, avid fan of the Buffalo Bills and had a love for sunflowers. Above all, Becky was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who centered her life around her cherished family.
