She loved to dance and taught ballroom dancing at Arthur Murray's Studio as well as to many family and friends. She received her love of dance from her mother, Anna, who was a ballerina in Poland and Ukraine. Daria was blessed with many gifts as an artist. She loved to paint, sew, was an excellent cook and baker. and made Ukrainian Pysanky. Some of her Ukrainian Pysanky are in the collection at the Ukrainian Museum in New York City. She had a competitive spirit and loved a good game of Scrabble or Gin Rummy.
She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother. We are so grateful to her for passing on her gifts and passions of art, music, dance, cooking, gardening and love for animals.
At this time, our family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the loving and attentive care shown to our mother from Lifetime Care Hospice Team Nurses and all other supportive workers for care with Parkinson's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.
Daria has blessed many lives with her talents. She was loved by all and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
