SHEILA STOZENSKI

Sheila Stozenski, of Wilkes-Barre Township, formerly Mountain Top, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2025.

Born on September 20, 1936, Sheila was the daughter of the late Joseph and Genevieve (Higgens) Maughan of Pittston, Pa. A devoted homemaker, she dedicated her life to her family, faith and community. Sheila was the proud alumna of Marywood College, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. Deeply rooted in her faith, she was a lifelong member of St. Jude’s church, where she sang in the choir for more than 50 years, bringing joy to countless parishioners through her voice. Her commitment to service extended beyond the church – Sheila volunteered at Mercy Hospital and later managed the gift shop where she showcased her talent of helping people select the perfect gift for loved ones.

Sheila and her husband George were active members of Wyoming Valley Country Club for many years. She cherished time spent with family and friends, especially time at the beach, a place she truly loved.

Sheila was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 61 years, George E. Stozenski, Sr. and her brother, Joseph Maughan.

She is survived by her loving son, George (Carolyn) Stozenski Jr. of Montville, NJ and daughter, Lisa (John) Dagit of Boothwyn, Pa and her brother, Patrick Maughan. She also leaves behind four cherished grandchildren, J.D., Holly, Will and Ethan who were the light of her life. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her, especially Lori Roadway, who was like a second daughter to her.

Friends and family are invited to a viewing at 9:30 am on Friday, June 13th at St. Jude’s church in Mountain Top. A funeral mass will be held at 11:00 am with Reverand Joseph Evanko officiating. Interment will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Hanover Township. A repast celebrating the life of Sheila will take place at Wyoming Valley Country Club.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her honor may be made to Allied Wilkes- Barre Hospice center (Allied-Services.org) where Sheila spent her last few days.
