Annika Hrycuna, a radiant soul whose light touched the lives of countless others, left this world far too soon. She passed away at the tender age of 33 in Concord, New Hampshire. Annika was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Her departure has left a deep void in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Annika's journey began on May 8, 1990, and from that moment on, she graced the world with her presence. She grew up in Concord, New Hampshire, and proudly graduated from Concord High School as a member of the Class of 2008. Little did anyone know that this young lady would go on to make an indelible mark on the local community.
Annika's career in hospitality was nothing short of extraordinary. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people on a deep and personal level, leaving lasting impressions wherever she went. Her welcoming smile and bubbly personality lit up any room she entered, making her a cherished presence in the hearts of friends, acquaintances, and patrons alike.
One of Annika's most remarkable qualities was her selflessness. She consistently put the needs of others before her own and was always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Her capacity for compassion and empathy were boundless, and she touched the lives of many through her acts of kindness.
Annika had a profound love for life's simple pleasures. She cherished long drives and walks, during which she'd turn up the music and let her spirit soar. Her sunglasses were a constant companion, shielding her eyes from the sun even when it was cloudy and adding to her undeniable charm. Annika never passed up a coffee frappe and a hamburger.
But perhaps the greatest joy in Annika's life was her deep love for her nieces and nephews. She was the fun, silly aunt that every child dreams of having, and her affection extended not only to her own family but to the many nieces and nephews she adopted from her best friends' children. Her love knew no bounds, and her memory will forever live on in the hearts of these young ones.
Annika is survived by her mother, Diane Lavalley, and her siblings:her sisters, Kasa Hrycuna, and her partner, Chris Kirk, along with her children, Willow, Zachery, Christopher Jr., and Jeramiah; and Anastasia Morgan and her husband, Greg, along with their children, Joshua and Cecilia.Her brother and sister-in-law, John Hrycuna IV and Kaleena, and their two boys, John V and Theodore; her brothers, Paul Hrycuna and Kristofer Ford. She is also survived by her grandmother, Dorothy (Nonnie) Davis, and cousin Theron Gunther,. Annika leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends, each of whom she touched with her kindness, warmth, and charm.
Annika was preceded in death by her loving father, John Hrycuna III, her aunt, Anastasia Hrycuna, and her grandparents, John and Beatrice Lavalley.
Annika often said, “only the good die young”, and she was indeed great. Her legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. We will forever cherish the memories we made with her and remember the joy and positivity she brought into our lives.
Annika Hrycuna's passing reminds us that the world can be a brighter place because of one person's love and compassion. May her spirit find eternal peace, and may her memory continue to inspire us to live our lives with the same warmth and kindness that she so effortlessly shared with us all.
