NORTH MONMOUTH - Amelia M. Waliski, 99, died early Wednesday morning, Nov. 18, 2009, at her residence in North Monmouth. She was born in North Monmouth on Aug. 17, 1910, the daughter of Konstanty and Elizabeth (Luski) Waliski. Amelia was not only born in North Monmouth and educated in Monmouth schools, but it is also where she chose to live her entire life. Remarkably, she was the oldest resident in town before she passed and thus was the recipient of the Boston Post Cane. At a young age, she became the caretaker of the family for, first, her sister with Down syndrome, and later, others in her family during her life, which spanned nearly a century. Amelia loved the United States. Her parents emigrated here from Poland, which was in large part why she appreciated, and was very proud of, her life as an American citizen. She was predeceased by her brother, Tadeus 'Ted' Waliski; and her two sisters, Lena Waliski and Helen Garneau. She is survived by a cousin, Pauline McDougal, of North Monmouth. Relatives and friends are invited to visit from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at Roberts Funeral Home, 62 Bowdoin St., Winthrop. A celebrated Mass of Christian burial will follow at 11 a.m. at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, Route 133, Winthrop. Interment with committal prayers will take place at 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23, at Glenside Cemetery, Turkey Lane, Winthrop. In light of Amelia's two greatest loves, donations in her memory may be made to an appropriate charity for the good of children or animals. www.khrfuneralhomes.com
