Obituary of Maria Danylyshyn

Danylyshyn, Maria Irondequoit: Friday, February 18, 2011. Pre-deceased by her husband Petro. Mrs. Danylyshyn is survived by her daughter Cristina Seese. Maria was born in Ukraine and with her husband, left their families and fled with courage when her homeland was being occupied. Both believed that a better life was in store for them and for the children they knew they would have. The road to America was long and with many challenges, but they persevered never losing hope for a better life. They ended up in Rochester and became part of a vibrant Ukrainian community. After the passing of her husband, Maria found new strength and got a drivers license and became more immersed with her friends and social activities. Maria loved her friends and the time spent with them, and especially loved a good party. Maria was an excellent cook and baker, and her daughter remembers meals that were made from soup bones that could rival any full course meal. Maria will be remembered and missed by the many whose lives she has touched. Peace be with you. Her family will receive friends Tuesday 4:00 - 7:00pm at the funeral home. Panachyda 7:00pm Friends are invited to meet the family Wednesday 10:00 am at the Ukrainian Catholic Church of Epiphany for her Divine Liturgy. Interment Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
