MARYVILLE, TN
John Stanley Saczawa, Jr., 82, died peacefully alongside Rosemary, his wife of nearly 58 years, at their beautiful Smoky Mountain home in Maryville TN on July 13, 2020. Also by his side were his son, John S. Saczawa III of Powell OH, and his daughter, Joyce S. Evans of Maryville TN. John and Rosemary raised their family in the Pendleton and Anderson area. John Jr. was a graduate of Indiana University and worked for Guide (GM) for 30 years.
Preceding John in death were his father, John S. Saczawa. Sr. and his mother Rose Fron Saczawa, his beloved sister Ruth Ellen Breclaw and her husband Ken Breclaw. Survivors include his wife Rosemary, his son John III (Debbi), their two children, Jack (John S. IV) and Kate (Kathleen C.), his daughter Joyce Evans (Mike) and Mike’s daughter Mollie Evans.
Although the current situation in our world does not allow for a traditional honoring of John’s life, the family will host a life celebration party when appropriate and in the mountains of Tennessee he treasured so much. In lieu of flowers, John and his family would prefer donations in his name to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park through the Friends of the Smokies at https://friendsofthesmokies.org.
