Breena Jacqueline Holodnak, 83, of Canoga Park, California, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on September 5, 1941, Breena was the heart and soul of her family, a woman known for her strength, grace, and unwavering devotion to those she loved. She built a beautiful life alongside her beloved husband, Joseph Holodnak, with whom she shared decades of love, laughter, and partnership.

Breena was a proud and dedicated mother to her eight children: Joseph Holodnak, Bill Holodnak, Susan Camejo, Tony Holodnak, Robert Holodnak, Elizabeth Schaffer, Debbie Levinson, and Nick Holodnak. Her legacy continues through her 18 cherished grandchildren: Nastasia, Katerina, Tatiana, Cassandra, Breena, Peter, Savannah, Lizzy, Victoria, Mikalina, Mary, Emma, Delilah, Juliet, Noah, Ireland, Scotland, and Magnolia.

A woman of deep love and compassion, Breena’s home was always filled with warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Her strength guided her family through every season of life, and her memory will continue to be a source of inspiration and love.

Breena will be deeply missed by all who knew her and forever remembered for the kindness she shared, the family she nurtured, and the enduring love she gave.

Funeral or memorial arrangements will be shared with family and friends in the coming days.
