sented the 11th
District
which
includes Garden City,

Dearborn Heights,
Livonia and Westland,
died of an apparent
heart attack last
Saturday while hiking
inOregon.
Mrs. Plawecki, 54, leaves her husband, Judge
MarkPlawecki, and three daughters.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Plawecki, D
Dearborn Heights, was unopposed for her re-elec-
tion bid, according to Secretary of State records.
She was elected to her first term in the House of
Representatives inNovember of 2014.
According to Plawecki's biography on the
Michigan House of Democrats' website, prior to
becoming a state representative she was a former
medical technologist and teacher.
She taughtmath, science and religion at elemen-
tary and secondary levels and for the last decade,
she worked at St. Robert Bellarmine in Redford
and also coached the school's Science Olympiad
team.
Plawecki received her bachelor's degree from
Oakland University and her professional teaching
certificate from the University of Michigan-
Dearborn. She was a 20-year resident of Dearborn
Heights, according toher biography.
Wayne County Commissioner Glenn Anderson
posted on his Facebook page late Saturday night
that Plawecki “passed away while in Oregon with
family.”
“She was a bright star in the Michigan House
and in her first term representing Dearborn
Heights, Garden City and Inkster,” Anderson wrote.
“She was full of energy, enthusiasm and loved pub-
lic service. I will miss her as will so many others.
My deepest condolences toher family.”
Several other of her government colleagues also
sent messages of condolence to her family and
praisedherworkwhile an elected official.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete at press
time.
An Inkstermanwas killed and his fiancé
seriously injured in a car crash last week.
The couple, both of Inkster, were
involved in an accident as they traveled
northbound on Beech Daly south of
Plymouth Road near Wadsworth Street in
their 1999 Chevrolet Suburban just after
midnight June 23 when another vehicle
crossed the center line and struck them
head-on. The 31-year-old male driver died
of the injuries sustained in the crash after
being transported by medical workers to a
nearby hospital. His fiancé suffered serious
injuries includingmultiple fractures, police
said, and underwent surgery at the hospi-
tal.
Redford police arrested the driver of the
2016 Chevrolet Silverado, a 25-year-old
Redford woman, which struck the Inkster
couple. Police said they suspect that alco-
hol was a factor in the crash, which
remains under investigation.
The Redford woman was treated at the
scene forminor injuries.
