Update: A Memorial Mass will take place on June 23, 2018 at St. Noel Catholic Community at 11:00am, 35200 Chardon Rd. Willoughby Hills, Ohio 44094. Jeannette Ann Pomidor, nee Tomchak, age 86, passed away on Sunday, October 29, 2017 at home in Tallahassee, FL in the loving arms of her family. Jeannette was a daughter of Polish immigrants to Cleveland, Ohio, John and Veronica Tomchak. She met and married her one love, Walter (Bill) Pomidor in 1953, and they had five children. Once the children were in school, Jeannette returned to college and completed her bachelor’s degree in education at St. John’s College. She taught elementary school for many years, at St. Francis of Assisi in Gates Mills, secondary education in Business and Arts at The Andrews School for Girls in Willoughby and finished her teaching career at Marion-Sterling Elementary School in Cleveland. Jeannette was also a very active member of their parishes, Immaculate Conception in Willoughby and St. Noel in Willoughby Hills. Jeannette’s longtime passions were travel and art and she was accomplished in several media. This allowed her and Bill to travel the country to visit the children and grandchildren, but also in search of the inspiration which she found in nature, and to participate in art fairs to share her paintings, calligraphies and illustrations. With their children spread to the four corners of the country, Jeannette and Bill moved to Westminster Oaks Retirement Community in Tallahassee, Florida. It was there that she passed from her family’s loving arms to those of the loving God. She is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Walter (Bill), her children; Barbara (Eapen) Chacko, John (Patricia) Pomidor, Catherine (Bryan) Young, and William ‘Bill’ (Alice) Pomidor, her grandchildren; Chris and Rachel, Erin and Andy, Chris, David, Michael and Lindsey, Ben, Gwen, and Daniel and numerous nieces, nephews as well as many friends. Jeannette is preceded in death by her son, Benjamin, parents; John and Veronica Tomchak, brother Richard Tomchak and sister Leonore Szymanski, niece, Karen Szymanski and nephew Mark Szymanski.
