\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Dorothy Maday, 94, of Peckville, passed away surrounded by her family on Saturday afternoon at Carbondale Nursing and Rehab Center after an illness.<\/p>\n
\nBorn in Dickson City, daughter of the late Luke and Ksenia Pronko Sheruda, she was a graduate of Blakely High School.<\/p>\n
\nShe was employed for many years as a seamstress for Pawnee Pants Manufacturing in Olyphant. Over the years, she served her community by working as an Election Poll Worker at Shopa Davey VFW, Peckville. This civic duty to her country and community gave her great pride. She dearly loved her faith and was a devoted member of the All Saints Orthodox Church in Olyphant, and served for years as director and fundraised for the church. Dorothy valued giving back to others in need and assisted her late husband William Maday who was a member of the Irem Temple in Dallas, where they helped sponsor 7 children for the Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia. These civic duties and devotions of her time to organizations she loved and valued brought her great joy.<\/p>\n
\nDorothy was a loving and devoted wife to her late husband William Bill for 62 years. They were the truest example of true love with support and respect to each other. Her other true love in life was homemaking and being involved in the lives of her family and friends. From delicious home cooked meals that filled her home with aromas of comfort and brought together her loved ones, she valued the details of a great meal and the enjoyment of conversation those meals became the catalyst for. Her baking skills were the icing on the top of those incredible meals, from magic cookie bars to delectable cakes that brought enjoyment to her loved ones. She loved to surprise anyone with a delicious treat to brighten their day. Her home was truly where her heart lied as she impeccably decorated it and took great pride in its appearance to reflect the love she felt living there.<\/p>\n
\nAs many know, Dorothy was a true shopper and loved strolling through her beloved department stores and watching home shopping networks for the deal of the day. She enthusiastically shopped to find the next great fashion piece to add to her impeccable style or to surprise a loved one with something special. Breakfast, lunch or dinner dates with family and friends brought her great joy also as she embraced the joy of creating memories together. She had a quick wit that brought unexpected smiles to many. Dorothy held a special place in the hearts of many of her family members and friends, because she provided an example of endless love and support that we all seek to experience. Her resilience to be independent into her 90s gave a true portrayal of her courage, perseverance, and determination. She lived life with dignity and intention to do for others and to make the world a better place. Her legacy of dignity and intention of action will always leave a positive lasting impact on those that were blessed to know her.<\/p>\n
\nThe family would like to give a special thank you to the wonderful staff at Carbondale Nursing and Rehab Center for her care and their kind words of support during her time with them.<\/p>\n
\nShe is survived by her one sister Amelia Kuzmiak of Justus, PA. Also surviving are numerous nieces, nephews, godchildren, grandnieces, and grandnephews, and several great-grand niece and great-grand nephews.<\/p>\n
\nShe was preceded in death by her brothers Michael, John, Joseph, Steve, and Peter Sheruda. As well as her sisters Jeanne Masko, Helen Barry, Mae Regan, Ann Solomon, and Anastasia Mazur.<\/p>\n
