OBITUARIES
Adela Demianiuk
January 09, 1925 - May 06, 2017
Adela Demianiuk, 92, entered peacefully into eternal life at her home in Manville on May 6, 2017. Born in Karczmiska, Pulawy Lubelska, Poland on January 9, 1925, she is the daughter of the late Antonina and Konstanty Pilat. During WWII she was made to work in a forced labor camp until her liberation by American Armed Forces. She continued to reside in Kitlingen, a DP camp in Germany, from 1945-1949, where her son Bogdan was born.
Unable to immigrate to the US, the family obtained passage to Brazil, where they had to work in the interior for one year with indigenous people as repayment for the trip.
She moved to Sao Paulo, where her daughter Helena was born, and was finally able to immigrate to Manville in 1960. Adela was always a warm hearted person that never turned anyone away from her door without an invitation to a hardy meal; she could always make something from nothing. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, sewing, and tending to her garden. She was a communicant of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Manville and a member of the Rosary Society, where she spent many a day making pierogies and socializing. Besides being a homemaker, to offset living costs, she worked as a house keeper for many years.
Adela was predeceased by her beloved husband Dmytro Demianiuk in 2010 and two brothers and a sister; she leaves behind her loving children Bogdan and Helena. She will be deeply missed by cherished grandsons Kevin Coughlin and Michael Demianiuk, his wife Anne, and great grandchildren Sabine and Natasha. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews in Poland and Australia.

Jn 10:11-18
Jesus said:
"I am the good shepherd.
A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd
and whose sheep are not his own,
sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away,
and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd,
and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father;
and I will lay down my life for the sheep.
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.
These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice,
and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own.
I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again.
This command I have received from my Father."
