26 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2017 OBITUARY Christina Kyj Pluta Christina was born in South Hampton, N.Y., the daughter of Ukrainian im- migrants Wasyl and Lydia Kyj. After graduating from Nether Providence High School, she attended Trinity College, earning a B.A. in Biology, and later attended Widener University, where she earned an MBA. Christina worked for a time at the Wistar Institute but eventually decided to join the family- owned business, Kyj’s Bakery. Dedicated to the bakery’s loyal customers, she specialized in designing and decorating specialty cakes. An active supporter of many Ukrainian American organizations, Christina served for many years as president of UNWLA Branch 13 of the Philadelphia Regional Council. She had a dynamic, gregarious personality and delighted in conversing with friends and strangers alike. Christina passed away on September 6, 2016, surrounded by her family. Relatives and friends bid a final farewell to her at a funeral mass held at Holy Myrrh-Bearers Ukrainian Catholic Church in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. She is survived by her devoted husband John; their children Anne, Larissa, John, and Andrew; her brother Myroslaw and his wife Larissa; her sister-in-law Patricia; her niece and nephews Lada, Olesh, and Evhen; and many friends, in- cluding the women who worked with her during the years she served as UNWLA Branch 13 president. As one Branch 13 member noted, “Chris was the heart and soul of our branch. She is missed beyond words.” Donations in Christina’s memory may be made to the Ukrainian Museum, the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee, or the Del- aware Country (Pennsylvania) ASPCA. __________________________________________________________________________ ing $500 to the Ukrainian Museum.
