Jennie was born June 8, 1946 to Janina (nee Mazuro) and Kazimierz “Charles” Czujko in a German worker camp after the end of WWII. She was one of four children. She and her family were sponsored under the Marshall Plan by a family in Kansas where the family lived for one year before they made their way to the Polish community in Riverhead. Jennie graduated from Riverhead High School. In 1966, she married Peter Miloski, who was the love of her life.
Together they had four children and built a home on small farm in Calverton. Her children recall a home that was always vibrant, busy and full of life with friends and family frequently visiting. Jennie worked for the Riverhead School District as a secretary for 30 years. She accumulated many friends over the span of her life and was always known to be fun loving. She also enjoyed her flower gardens and traveling through the U.S. and Europe. Jennie was always up for a road trip.
