Nola Popik Obituary

Nola A. Popik, age 48, of Huntsburg Twp., died Aug. 7, 2014 at home.
Her favorite pastime was fishing.
She is the beloved wife of Brian Cushnyr, mother of Amanda Auletta and stepmother of Becky (Louie) Niksick. Most loved grandmother of John Calvetta, Drew Parker and Douglas Niksick.
Sadly, she leaves behind her parents, Penny (nee: Przybylski) Popik of Mayfield Hts. and Robert (Sharon) Popik of North Fort Myers, Fla.; sisters, Norah (Joe) Ginty and Annie (Nick) Caudill; grandmother, Dee Przybylski; niece and nephew, Victoria and Aedan Ginty; wonderful aunts and uncles, Virginia (Grant) Coyle, Gloria (Len) Gasek, Mari Lou (Thomas) Majewski, Glenna Przybylski, Hank (Kathleen) Przybylski and Albert Popik; cousins, Nikki, Amy, Bethany, Ian, Sara, Kirk, Jessica; special friends, Al Kralik, Debby Kilby, Dennis and Paulette Paradise.
Nola was preceded in death by her grandparents, Victoria and Henry Przybylski, Anna and George Popik; stepson, Brian Cushnyr, Jr.; and uncle, Richard Popik.
Nola had a soft spot for all manner of strays, whether you had fur, fins or feet, if you were in need, she was your girl. Knowing her made for an interesting life's ride.

A wayward soul?

I am so glad our paths crossed as they did, our knowing each other was just meant to happen, although I feel it happened too late in both of our lives. I hope Brian has the strength to make it through the loss of his soul mate. You both had shown me so much about love. I will greatly miss you my friend :*(

Dear Popik Family and Przybylski Family,

I was shocked to learn of your dear Nola's passing. Penny, I can still remember visiting your home in Mayfield Heights when Nola was a child and although the last time I saw you was at your Dad's wake, I will always cherish the memories of my time spent with the Przybylski family.
There is an old Indian saying: 'When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.' As those who knew and loved your Nola now grieve her passing, please find comfort in knowing she is rejoicing at the gates of Heaven.
May the love of family and friends sustain you; may your many memories bring you strength; and may your faith provide you peace as you deal with this profound loss.
My very deepest sympathy to you all - my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
God bless you.
Love,

Phyllis (Kovalcik) (Madey) Boni
