A retired Machinist at Graphic Controls, Dolores M. Baranyckyj, passed away at the age of 86.

Dolores, was always active at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church along with her family. She participated in their Bazaars in the Card & Ukrainian  Booth, helping to cook in the kitchen and making Varenyky for many years. She was also active in the Deanery Choir and was a member of the Ukrainian Home "Dnipro", the Woman's Organization for the Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine "OZHET", SITCH and the League of Ukrainian Catholics.

At home, she especially enjoyed making chocolate candy and giving it away to all her friends. She loved spending time cooking, baking, and making pierogi (Varenyky) with her girls and grandchildren, making sure they learned the right way to celebrate the traditional holidays.  In her younger years, Dolores was active at the Cym Camp, and also enjoyed playing cards with the family. She was good-hearted and loved being able to be home and spend time with her family, her flower gardens, and especially her fur-friend Pauly.

Dolores was the beloved wife to the love of her life, the late Dmytro Baranyckyj.

She was the devoted mother of Karen (Henry) Kozlowski, Jean (Michael) Ranney, and Mary Ann (Wasyl) Puhacz and loving grandmother "Baba" of Kristina (Jason) Knaub, Steffany (Joseph) Celento, Kathryn (Thomas) Michalewski, Collin and Jason (Kara) Ranney, Alyssa and Andrew Puhacz and dearest great-grandmother "Baba" of Madison and Leah Knaub, Isabella and Olivia Celento.
