Agnes Kubiak Chech, age 92, of Appleton, WI was called to the loving arms of Jesus on March 22, 2016 at her home surrounded by family. Agnes was born on July 25, 1923 in Clarksburg, NJ to immigrant farmers. It was there that she learned the value of hard work, the love of family, a passion for food and an insatiable zest for life! She was an extraordinary woman and the most loyal and loving mother a child could ever want. During her 92 years of life, she faced every challenge head on, lived every dream and fulfilled her life's purpose. She has now joined her loving husband, Frank Kubiak, Jr. who passed into eternity on January 12, 1965. Agnes lived in Robbinsville, NJ until 1971; Ft. Lauderdale, FL until 1999 and after returning to NJ until 2008, moved to Appleton, WI to be near her daughter.

Agnes was the daughter of the late Eva and Andrew Sadley and wife of the late Frank Kubiak Jr. She is survived by her four children Robert Kubiak and his wife, Lisa, Gary Kubiak and his wife, Ingrid, Dennis Kubiak and his wife, Melanie and Joy Kubiak and her spouse, Lisa Malone. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 28.5 great grandchildren – all of whom she loved deeply.


Preceded in death by her second husband, Albert Chech, she is survived by three step children, Arlene (Mark) Halsted, Alan (Ginny) Chech and Alberta Bigger and two step-grandchildren.


Agnes was also predeceased by her brothers, Stephen, Joseph, Peter, John and her sisters, Catherine, Mary and Sophie, with whom she held a very special bond. She has many nieces and nephews and will be especially missed by her nephew James (Kristina) Sadley and niece Dorothy Sadley who have made many trips to Wisconsin to visit their Aunt Agnes.


Agnes was a woman of the times, long before it was a woman's 'time'. She worked at Eastern Aircraft during WWII and quickly rose to the position of an airplane parts inspector which was usually held by men. After marrying Frank Kubiak in 1945, they started an electrical contracting business, Frank Kubiak Electric in Robbinsville, NJ. When faced with the untimely death of her husband, she chose to keep the business and under her leadership, it became very successful. She was many things to many people - a fiercely protective mother, a loving and supportive grandmother, an avid gardener, an entrepreneur, an extremely strong-spirited and positive woman, a deep believer in Jesus, an immensely generous woman and an inspiration to all who knew and loved her.


Mass of Christian Burial for Agnes will be celebrated 11am on Saturday, April 2nd at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 555 Allentown-Yardville Rd., Yardville, NJ. Interment will follow in St. John's Cemetery, Allentown. Friends may call Friday, April 1St from 5-8pm at the Peppler Funeral Home, 114 S. Main St. Allentown.
