Luann Dombrowski

LuAnn Dombrowski, 71 of Mill River, MA passed away on March 28, 2025. Born September 23, 1953 in Hudson, NY she was the second oldest daughter, out of four girls, to Marion and James Brauski.

LuAnn then married and moved to Rockaway, NY with her husband, with whom she had three children, Christopher Dombrowski, Heather Dombrowski, and Alison Dombrowski.  Her final destination was her home in The Berkshires, where she raised her three children.

LuAnn had a love for Walt Disney and made sure everyone was aware of this, as she had many Mickey items throughout her home.  She would visit Walt Disney World with her oldest sister Lee, and other family members as well. LuAnn would light up any room and always had a smile on her face. She had the biggest and kindest heart. She had an unconditional love for her family and always put them above and beyond everyone, including herself. Her other passion was taking rides to the Beartown Forest to see the wildlife with her longtime companion of 35 plus years, John Goudey.  LuAnn always kept going no matter what her conditions were.

She worked at BARC in Great Barrington, MA to care for the individuals in need. LuAnn and John would dress up as Mickey and Minnie Santas to help celebrate Christmas and put a smile on the individual’s faces.

LuAnn, is survived by her companion John Goudey of Mill River, MA and his daughter Alicia Ryan of Sheffield, MA; Christopher Dombrowski of Pittsfield, MA and his wife Jill Marion, his daughter Mikayla Dombrowski of Mill River, MA and his son Caiden Dombrowski; Heather Dombrowski and fiancé, Camil  Swierczynski of Sheffield, MA and their daughter Khloe J Swierczynski; Alison Firch of Rio Linda, CA and husband Douglas Firch and their daughter Kate Firch; Also her niece and Goddaughter, Minka Maddocks of Waterford, NY.
