24 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2017 OBITUARY Thecla Kurylo Thecla Kurylo, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., passed into eternal rest on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. She was 75. Thecla was the daughter of Danylo and Anna Baryluk. Born in Ontario, Canada, she moved to Has- tings, N.Y., as a child, graduating from Hastings High School in 1960 and eventually meeting her husband of 55 years, Alex Kurylo, whom she married on Au- gust 5, 1961, at St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yonkers, N.Y. Thecla was a devoted parishioner of Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kerhonkson, N.Y. She served as the church’s treasurer and volun- teered for many activities, such as making varenyky and crafts to sell at church bazaars. She was also one of the original members of UNWLA Branch 95, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. She was a very active member who served as one of the branch officers. Over the years, she par- ticipated in many ethnic and cultural events repre- senting our branch and our Ukrainian heritage. She also participated in many Branch 95 events, such as the Medieval Feast we organized to raise money for the victims of Chornobyl, hosting the UNWLA Na- tional Convention in 2005, and supporting the many different humanitarian Branch 95 projects that help various entities in Ukraine. Thecla also helped with many Branch 95 fundraising events, such as seasonal dinners, Penny Socials, and Spa & Women's Workshop weekends, and helped to cre- ate lovely craft items for local craft fairs. Thecla was a skilled seamstress, who made beautiful outfits and toys for her own children as well as decorative items for her home; she was adept at all forms of needle- work, especially traditional Ukrainian cross-stitch as well as other embroidery, crocheting, and knit- ting. She was especially admired and complimented for her beautiful handcrafted Christmas angels. Thecla worked at a local credit union for many years. Starting out as a teller, she was pro- moted to loan officer, and finally retired as branch manager. She was also a volunteer for the local chapter of the American Heart Association. Thecla Kurylo is survived by her beloved husband Alex, by her four wonderful children: Mi- chael, his wife Kim, and sons Daniel and David of Michigan; Mary Ann Mesuda, her husband Don, and their children, Stacie of Colorado and Joseph and Vincent of Hopewell Junction; Natalie and her husband Tim O’Donnell of Tennessee; and Nicholas with his wife Deborah and daughter Sacha of Fish- kill. Thecla also leaves behind her twin sister Frances Melnychuk of Yonkers, N.Y., and their other sister, Pauline Kucharczyk, of Palm Coast, Florida, together with several nieces and nephews. Our Thecla was a lovely and talented woman who shared her life and her gifts with her family, her church and community, and with her UNWLA and Branch sisters. We have been blessed to know her and we will miss her immeasura- bly. May she rest in God's love. 750 дол . У пам'ять бл. п. Христі Навроцької . Марта Торієллі. 50 дол .
