On August 9, 2026, our family said goodbye to a truly remarkable woman, our beloved MomMom.

She had a gift for making people feel loved, and she shared that love in everything she did. MomMom loved to bake and sew, but what she really created through everything she made were memories that will live on in all of us.

Her kitchen was a place where everyone was welcome. It didn’t matter who walked through her door—she had a way of making you feel like family. There was always love to be found in her kitchen, often accompanied by something delicious she had baked with her own hands.

MomMom could make a cake for any occasion. From weddings and birthdays to Communions and Christenings, she poured her heart into every cake she made. Each one was more than a dessert; it was a reflection of the love she had for the people she was making it for.

She was just as talented with a needle and thread. MomMom didn’t simply sew clothing—she sewed memories. She created beautiful things for her family that will forever remind us of her loving hands, her creativity, and the time and care she put into making others feel special.

To every granddaughter, MomMom had a special way of making you feel loved, important, and, most importantly, heard. She wanted them to know their worth, to stand strong, and to always know that their voices mattered. Whether it was something she baked, something she sewed, or simply something she said, she made each of them feel seen, heard, and special with a bushel & a peck and a hug around the neck.

MomMom’s greatest creation, however, was the family she loved so fiercely. Her strength, kindness, generosity, and unwavering love will continue to live on through all of us.

MomMom is survived by her daughter, Regina Fuchs; her granddaughters, Kimberly Mannuzza and her husband, Brian Mannuzza; Rachel Fuchs and her wife, Luciana Fuchs; and Kasey Alicea and her husband, Christopher Alicea; her great-grandchildren, John Ryan Sheehy, Brilynn Mannuzza, Kaysen Mannuzza, Jaxtyn Mannuzza and Santino Mannuzza. Her son, John Kall; and her brother, Edmund Polnasek. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John Kadluboski, whose memory and love remained an important part of her heart and her life, and her dog Snickers.
