Wanda Marszal, 98, of Meriden, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022, at the Newington home of her sister, Phyllis Scherban. Wanda was born in Springfield, MA., on November 26th, 1923, the daughter of Polish immigrants, to the late Walter and Michalina (Chmielewski) Malachowski. Spending her childhood in New Britain, she attended New Britain schools, then later moved to Meriden upon marrying firefighter Norwid “Norm” Marszal. Mrs. Marszal worked many years as a manager in popular local restaurants like the Villa Capri, Old Mill, and the Cabin, but spent her best years at the Yankee Silversmith Inn. She often shared stories of meeting well-known entertainers who came to the Yankee after performing at the Oakdale Theater, none of whom made as great an impression as Engelbert Humperdinck, who for many years she called a friend. She loved travelling to visit her children in Poland and parts of the US, and she was an avid sports fan cheering on her Red Sox and UConn basketball teams. Wanda is survived by her sister Phyllis, her daughter Claudia Denze and husband Ron of Southington, son Dean Marszal and his wife Michelle of Lyman, SC, daughter Leslie Christian of Centerport, NY, and son Drew Marszal and his wife Joanna of Dubai, UAE; her six grandchildren, Justin McCormick and his wife Mui of Middletown, Myles Christian of Orlando, Julian and Milena Marszal and Sienna and Ella Marszal, as well as great-granddaughter, Andersen McCormick, and several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her three brothers Walter, Morris and Henry Malachowski.
