Helena Ksenycz, the heart and soul of her family, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2026. Born in Bobrowice, Poland, on January 3, 1950, Helena brought a warmth and vibrance to the world that will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Helena was the true joy in the room, always greeting life with a radiant smile and an open heart. A passionate gardener, she had a gift for nurturing growth—not just in her flowerbeds, but in the lives of everyone she touched. She was the person who would drop everything at a moment’s notice to help a loved one, living a life defined by quiet sacrifice and boundless generosity.

Helena’s greatest masterpiece was the family she leaves behind. She is survived by her devoted husband, Stefan Ksenycz, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and partnership. Her legacy of strength and kindness continues through her children: Jaroslaw and his wife Larysa; Petro and his wife Ela; and her son Bohdan.

She was an adoring grandmother to Alexander and Maksym, who were the lights of her life. Helena also leaves behind her sisters and brothers, along with a large extended family both here and in Poland, all of whom carried a piece of her bright spirit.

To her family, she was a sanctuary—a mother and sister who gave everything of herself to ensure they were happy and loved. While her garden may be still, the memories of her laughter and her selfless heart will bloom forever.
