Genowefa Orszulak, a beacon of love and faith, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2025, at the age of 83. Born on September 17, 1941, in Poland, Genowefa's life was a testament to the power of gentleness and devotion.

Her grandchildren, Monika and Mateusz Prusak, Grzegorz, Patrycja, Kasia, and Gabriela Orszulak, will forever hold her in their hearts, as will her granddaughter-in-law, Sylwia, and her great-granddaughter, Emily Orszulak, who brought immense joy to her later years.
A woman of unwavering faith, Genowefa found solace and strength in prayer, a practice that she cherished and instilled in her family. Her melodious voice was often heard singing hymns that resonated with the love she felt for her faith and those around her. The time spent with her grandchildren was the highlight of her days, filled with laughter, stories, and the wisdom she was eager to share.

Her faith-filled nature was an inspiration to all, and her gentle demeanor was a comforting presence in the lives of her family and friends. She navigated life's challenges with grace and emerged with a heart full of gratitude and love.
