Christine Plutnicki Obituary

Christine Ann (Kobierski) Plutnicki, 86, of Marlborough, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, February 21, 2026.

She was the daughter of the late John Kobierski and Stella (Klosowska) Kobierski. In September 1961, Christine married Richard J. Plutnicki, and together they shared 55 years of marriage until his passing in August 2017.

Christine spent the early part of her career as a hairdresser. She also spent time working as a teacher’s aide in a nursery school in Harvard, MA. She spent the majority of her life raising her family and watching her grandchildren grow.

Christine found her greatest joy in the vibrant beauty of the world around her and the family she held dear. Some of her favorite activities included soaking in the sun by the family pool and tending to her beloved flower gardens. Christine had a green thumb, and continued to work in her treasured flower gardens her entire life. Some of Christine’s happiest memories were forged on cherished family trips, from the nostalgic shores and salt air of The Salem Willows to the serene mountain escapes of Waterville Valley. She leaves behind a legacy rooted in the belief that life’s most beautiful moments are those shared in the fresh air, surrounded by nature’s grace and the laughter of loved ones.

She is survived by her three children: Laurie Plutnicki of North Carolina; Kathy May and her husband, Kevin, of Rutland, Massachusetts; and Michael Plutnicki of Marlborough, Massachusetts. She also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren: Matthew Barrile, Melissa (Barrile) May and her husband Nicholas, Ryan May, Brendan May, Erin May, and Colin May; her brother, Richard; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

In addition to her husband, Richard, Christine was predeceased by her brothers, John Kobierski and Robert Kobierski.

Honoring her wishes, all services will be private.
