Eileen V. Pietraszka

Eileen V. (Stanton) Pietraszka, 91, of St. Elizabeth’s Manor Bristol, RI, passed away peacefully March 1, 2019 with her children by her side. Born to the late John and Edith (Riley) Stanton of Pawtucket, RI, Eileen was a lifelong Rhode Island resident. She is predeceased by her husband Julian T. Pietraszka, brother John J. Stanton and sister Maryellen Stanton. Eileen found her greatest joy in life caring for her children. An adored matriarch, Eileen was happiest when surrounded by her family. She was a wonderful, nurturing and supportive mother and nana. Fiercely independent and a strong woman, ahead of her time, Ma’s source of strength and mischievous Irish sense of humor were among the greatest gifts left to “all her kids”. Prior to retirement at 75, when not present in the joy filled home she created, Eileen, in her many years of employ as a cook, could be found preparing meals for the residents of several nursing homes in the Pawtucket area and later for children in the Head Start program in Warren....
