Edward Vojnovski

Edward Vojnovski passed away on December 20, 2025 in Fleming Island, FL. He was born on September 4, 1929, in St. Augustine, FL to the late Eugene Vojnovski and Mary Sieleki Vojnovski.

Ed was the youngest son of Eugene and Mary Sieleki Vojnovski and was the last surviving of their children.

Ed enlisted in the United States Navy in 1947 and retired in 1967 as a Chief Petty Officer, having served aboard the USS Harry F. Baur, USS Sprig, USS Corry, USS Hissem and the USS Savage among others. He was, at various times, stationed at Bermuda NAS, Annapolis, MD, Norfolk, VA, and Charleston, SC. At the time of his retirement, he was stationed at Cecil Field Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, FL attached to the VFP-62 Squadron.

Ed was an avid gardener. He loved helping others and always helped the elderly who needed help keeping their yards up. Ed always shared plants with people and shared the harvest of his garden. He loved the Lord and considered his gardening efforts as a way to beautify His creation. He was a deeply loved father, husband and uncle and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He led by example in helping others in need and to love your neighbor. Ed will be forever in our hearts.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Lillian Vojnovski Clifford; brothers, Walter and John Vojnovski; nephews and nieces, James Vojnovski, Sherry Vojnovski Stinson and Helen Clifford Roland; and first wife, Lois Vojnovski.
