Jane was a devoted member of the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church and an active participant in the Heidi Hewes Chapter of the Woman’s Cancer Association through the University of Miami, PEO, and the Spade and Trowel Garden Club. She played hand and foot canasta weekly with her card buddies and enjoyed family domino nights. A gifted Southern cook, Jane loved preparing beautiful luncheons and hosting elegant dinner parties.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Baranowski, a devoted father, proud Marine, and a man of quiet strength and deep faith, who left this world peacefully at the age of 92. Frank was a decorated veteran of the United States Marine Corps, having served his country with honor, courage, and unwavering discipline. His years in uniform shaped not only his life, but the values he instilled in those who knew him—integrity, service, and resilience. He was a widower, having shared a long and loving marriage with his beloved wife, Patricia. Since her passing, Frank faithfully visited her grave every Sunday at the National Cemetery, rain or shine, always saying quiet prayer. Their bond remained unbroken even in death. A devout Catholic, Frank attended Mass regularly and found solace in his faith. He was a gentle soul—kind, steady, and humble. Those who knew him remember a man who never spoke loudly, but whose quiet actions spoke volumes. His warmth and generosity touched many. Frank leaves behind a proud legacy in his five surviving children, Patty Ann, Frank, Kathleen, Robert, & Peter; each of whom carries forward his values and love. They were his angels, now he is theirs. His soul is resting at peace, reunited with his beloved Patricia. A funeral Mass will be held Friday, June 6th, 11:30am at Nativity Catholic Church with interment to follow at The South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth on Monday, June 9th at 1:00pm beside his wife. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Frank’s memory to a veterans’ support organization of your choice.
