32 WWW. UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ - СЕРПЕНЬ 2012 before the wedding, and it is shared by all of the wedding guests. Back to our workshop at the museum. I was simply astounded by the artistry of the st u- dents. The master korovainytsi ( korovai makers) , Larysa Zielyk and Lubow Wolynetz, demonstrated the technique s of making birds, doves, cones, flowers, leaves, grapes, sun, moon, braids, and even a wedding tree ( hil’tse ). The korovai stands apart from an y other type of baked bread with intrinsic details and decorations. I did my best to keep up but my daughter, Adrianna, was putting me to shame. With lightning speed , she began shaping the various ornaments and creating works of art. Personally, I was very proud of her accomplishment and just plain happy to be with her and spend an enjoyable day at the museum. During the break, while our korovai was baking in the oven, Adrianna and I visited the museum’s wonderful exhibitions and talked to the many e n- thusia sts attending the class. It was a fantastic workshop , and I am so happy that Adrianna and I experienced it together. But the good old B.B.C. network (better known in Ukrainian as “ Baba Babi Skazala ” ) got wind of our attendance at this workshop and heard ab out the extraordinary doves Adrianna learned to make. No sooner did we get home when Adrianna’s friend asked us to make her a korovai . How could we refuse when it is such a beautiful Ukrainian tradition and today’s young 20 - year olds are so interested in p reserving and including it in their wedding? So the first korovai was created in the kitchen that escaped flour for so many years. Soon after, Adrianna and her hu s- band , Robert Odomirok , were transferred to work in Ireland , but the korovai orders kept coming. With the help of the postal system, Adrianna creates her birds and ornaments and ships them to me for our anxious customers. It is an intern a- tional endeavor — b irds manufactured and flown in from Ireland, korovai baked and assem bled in t he United States, but the end result nothing less than 100% Ukrainian. ВІДІЙШЛ А У ВІЧНІСТЬ Irene Kindrachuk Mrs. Irene Kind ra - chuk of Glen Spey, NY , and a long - time resident of the area, died Satu r- day, April 14, 2012 , at Cornerstone Living in New Tripoli, PA. She was 92. She was born on N o- vember 25, 1919 , in Iva - no - Frankivsk, Ukraine , the daughter of the late Michael and the late Clementine Mychailuk Zahaykewych. Irene was married for 55 ye ars to Michael Kindrachuk who died on January 10, 2000. Irene was a member of St. Volodymyr ’ s Ukrainian Catholic Church, Glen Spey , where she was very active in community affairs. Irene Kind - rachuk was a dedicated member of the Ukrainian National Women ’ s League of America, Inc. and held many leadership positions. She was elected president of the UNWLA New Jersey Regional Council in 1970 . In 1971 she headed the XVI U N- WLA National Convention Committee. Between 1975 and 1978 Irene served on the UNWLA N a- tion al Board as a Chairwoman of the National Membership Committee. Later (1978 - 1984) she served as a member of the UNWLA National A u- diting Committee, and was elected its Chair in 1984 .

In 2003, together with other former presidents of the branch, she was awarded an “ Honorary Branch 62 President Citation ” in re c- ognition of her dedication, volunteerism , and hard wor k for the organization. Her cheerful di s- position, her determination , and her trust in Ukraine and Ukrainian American women to co n- tinue to nurture Ukrainian cultural heritage will never be forgotten. A family statement read: Irene was a lo v- ing wife, moth er , and grandmother and always placed her family above all else. She was always in good spirits, carried herself with dignity , and set an example of how to lead a good, charitable , and loving life. She will be missed by all who knew her, and we are proud o f the legacy she has left and the good deeds she is remembered for by her community. Olha M. Lukiw
