“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 2016 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 25 Irena Hryhorczyk Shumylo Irena was born in Konitz, Germany, on August 6, 1942. She and her parents, Maria and Zenek Hryhorczyk, moved through the camps as did so many Ukrainians displaced by the war, un- til they were able to emigrate to Detroit, Michi- gan, in 1950. Irena soon became active in the Ukrainian community and its organizations. Irena and Mychaylo Shumylo married on June 22, 1963, and thereafter were blessed with three children: Natalya, Marko, and Roman. Through the years, Irena remained active in the Ukrainian community, sending her children to Immaculate Conception schools and Plast, volun- teering at Ridna Shkola and Chernyk Sports Club. She worked at both the Selfreliance and Future Credit Unions until her retirement. A member of UNWLA Branch 96, she served as the treasurer of the Detroit Regional Council for twenty years, and she also was the treasurer for the Marijska Dru- zhyna at Immaculate Conception Church for ten years. In 1991 Irena suffered a brain aneurysm; she went through her illness well enough to see her children and grandchildren grow into adult- hood. Irena was a very creative, talented, and ar- tistic woman, skillfully creating pysanky, embroi- dering, sewing, making decorative ceramic works and making gerdany. She kept a Ukrainian home and followed Ukrainian traditions and customs. She and her husband became the cornerstone for the entire family, and her passing leaves a huge hole in the family and the community. She will be missed by her children Natalya, Marko, and Ro- man; her grandchildren Kolia, Katya, Christian, and Sophia; her sisters Lillia and Chrystyna; her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Donna and Al- exander Shrubowich, Liasia and Roman Maziak, and Zirka and Roman Zubar; and her nieces and nephews Victor, Andrew, Petro, Anya, Paul, Tan- ya, Marta, Shanya and Damien. Богдан Лепкий Минеться ніч, розвієсь тьма... Минеться ніч, розвієсь тьма, Просниться чорний сон. Настане день! Життя, весна Загляне до вікон. Та нім мине недолі час, Нім щастя зацвітуть квітки, О пісне! – не кидай ти нас! Дзвени, дзвени, дзвени! В лихій добі, в важкій борбі Мутиться людський ум. Нехай же він спічне собі Хоть хвилю серед дум. Най позабуде брязк оков І звірства боротьби, Під свою білу хоругов Горни ти нас, горни! Минеться ніч, розвієсь тьма, Просниться чорний сон! Настане день! Життя, весна Загляне до вікон. Та нім мине недолі час, Нім щастя зацвітуть квітки, О пісне! – не кидай ти нас! Дзвени, дзвени, дзвени! Видиш, брате мій... Видиш, брате мій, Товаришу мій, Відлітають сірим шнуром Журавлі у вирій. Кличуть: кру! кру! кру! В чужині умру, Заки море перелечу, Крилонька зітру, Крилонька зітру. Мерехтить в очах Безконечний шлях, Гине, гине в синіх хмарах Слід по журавлях.
