Our hearts are deeply broken by the devastating news of Lucy Preston’s passing.
Lucy was a cherished pillar of our community, and her kindness and dedication touched so many of us here at the Hall and within the Polish Heritage Society. She will be profoundly missed.
We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Lucy’s family and loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time. Please join us in holding them close in your hearts. Rest in peace, dear Lucy. 💔🕊️
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and dedicated community member, Lucy Maciejewski Preston.
Lucy was a vibrant and cherished part of the Polish Heritage Society, and she served our community with incredible passion as our Busia Queen during her reign in 2023. She generously committed herself to the restoration of the Jackson Street Hall, which was just one of many acts of kindness she offered throughout her life in the community; to be around her warm spirit was truly a beautiful place to be. She famously said that "being Busia Queen means being everyone's Busia," and she lived out those words through her kindness and dedication to our society.
We are holding her entire family close in our hearts during this difficult time. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
