Grace TROKNYA Obituary

TROKNYA Grace Elizabeth "Betty" Our precious Mother, Grace Troknya, age 96, went to join dad, George Troknya and the angels in heaven on July 26, 2012. It was her wish to live at Sacred Heart Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Oregon, Ohio for the past 8 months, where she received loving care. Grace volunteered at Gesu grade school while her 6 children attended school there. Additionally, she spent 23 years as a volunteer at St. Vincent Hospital and many years as a volunteer for Mobile Meals. Her proudest accomplishment was raising her children and instilling in them a love of family. Grace was preceded in death by her parents, Falten and Anna Haberkorn; loving husband, George; son, George Frances, and son-in-law, Dr. Thomas W. Mahoney Jr. She is survived by her children, Julia Mahoney, James Troknya, Thomas (Doris) Troknya, David (Maureen) Troknya, Mary (C.J.) Smith and Patricia (Dwight) Wittenberg. Grace treasured her 16 grandchildren, Thomas W. Mahoney III, Patrick (Lori) Mahoney, Shawn (Sarah) Mahoney, Julie (Troy) Gleason, James (Vicki) Troknya, Dr. Michael (Lisa) Troknya, Paul (Lisa) Troknya, Shawn (Marcia) Troknya, Kelly (Michael) Walker, Colleen (George) Graham, Mark Troknya, Travis Smith, Matthew Smith, Elizabeth Wittenberg, Nicholas Wittenberg and Katherine Wittenberg, and 16 great-grandchildren. Grace was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Grace had the gift of gab and enjoyed sharing her life lessons through the art of storytelling. The family will welcome friends at the Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 S. Reynolds Rd., on Friday, August 3, 2012, from 3-8 p.m. where a Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 4, 2012 beginning at 10 a.m., in the mortuary, followed by a Funeral Mass at Gesu Church, 2049 Parkside Blvd., Toledo, OH 43606, at 11 a.m. Interment Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made to Gesu Church. Please view and sign our online "guest registry" at CoyleFuneralHome.com "I live to hear your voice"
