She will always be remembered by Tonya, Beth, Nadya, Michael, Matthew, Christan, Anthony, Catherine, Andrew, Zachary, Tasha, and Joshua. Mom also cherished 9 great grandchildren who will remember her or will learn about her through the memories of their parents. Quinn, Luke, Aoife, McKenna, Mason, Eleanor, Sage, Hannah and Paul. Also saddened by her passing are her sisters Pat Pantella and Ollie Komarnicki and her sister-in-law Angeline Dowling, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. <br /> <br />The family would like to especially thank Dr. Andrew Harrington for the decades of care and compassion towards our Mom, and the special precious angel at RUH who comforted us with her calmness and tenderness during Mom&rsquo;s final hours. May God bless you. <br /> <br />Prayers will be held on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. The Divine Liturgy will be celebrated on Friday, November 13, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Both services will be held at Sts.
