The Long Island doctor who fatally fell out of her family’s moving Airstream loved the trailer so much that she nicknamed it and used to sleep there even when it was parked in their driveway.
Well-known pediatrician Monika Woroniecka, 58, dubbed her and her husband’s shiny new silver RV “Nebula” because “it represented adventure and exploration,” said shattered daughter Helena Woroniecka — who witnessed her mother’s freak accident Saturday afternoon as the family headed through upstate New York to watch the solar eclipse.
“She loved that trailer so much and poured her soul into it,” Helena told The Post on Tuesday.
“She gathered shells from a beach at home and arranged them to spell ‘Nebula’ in a frame above the entrance,” Helena said of her mom, a Stony Brook Medicine allergy specialist and married mother of three. “She would go in there even just to sleep at home when it was rainy and put so much love into it.
“She did also love to travel and explore, which is why my parents bought the trailer — they were planning to take an early retirement and travel to national parks and spend time exploring together,” Helena said of the two-month-old vehicle.
