Megan M. Adamsky

Megan M. Adamsky, 80, a long-time Gilroy resident, passed away unexpectedly, but quietly, in her sleep November 27, 2007, in a Turlock hospital after a very brief stay. Mrs. Adamsky, born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sturek in St. Joseph, MO., led an adventurous life. After graduating from the University of New Mexico, she taught school in Los Alamos and Seattle. She then moved to an oil camp in the jungles of Venezuela, where she was responsible for educating the children of the oil workers. There she met John Adamsky, who remained her loving husband until his death in 1994. His work took them to many parts of the globe from Italy to the Far East. They eventually settled in their retirement years in Gilroy, where Mrs. Adamsky was a member of the AAUW. She is survived by her sister, Jo Ann Eklund of Peoria, AZ, and many nieces and nephews. Services will be at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Gilroy on Monday, December 3 at 10:00 A.M. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gilroy Library, whose personnel helped her immensely during the long period of her home confinement, or to Guide Dogs of America, 13445 Glenoaks Blvd., Sylmar, CA 91342. Megan would approve — she loved all dogs.
