Mary (Semaniuk) Jakymiw, 78, of Wethersfield, widow of John, passed away on Wednesday (August 27, 2014) with her family by her side. Born August 16, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Maftej and Frazyna Semaniuk. Mary was married 49 years to John before his passing 11 years ago. Born in Ukraine, she was displaced to Germany in WWII and immigrated to America in 1950. Mary and John raised their 3 daughters in Wethersfield to value family and to know their Ukrainian heritage. Mary volunteered in the Ukrainian community as manager of the Ukrainian Gift Shop of Hartford for 30 years and was the long time treasurer of Women’s ODFFU. She was a member of SUMA and St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church. In recent years, due to wheelchair dependency, she attended Catholic masses at St. James Church in Rocky Hill. Mary will be dearly missed by her devoted daughters, Irene Bobriwnyk and husband Anatole of Rocky Hill, Christine Jakymiw of Wethersfield, Nadine Jakymiw and husband Richard Marshall of Rocky Hill; grandchildren Natalie Giuca and husband Eric of Newington, Mark Bobriwnyk and Adrian Bobriwnyk, both of Rocky Hill, step-granddaughter Megan Marshall of Detroit and nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, friends.
