Dzwinka Holian

In Loving Memory of Dzwinka Holian. 

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dzwinka Holian (nee Kuczmenda) who left us on March 26, 2025 at the age of 82.

Dzwinka was a beacon of warmth and compassion to all who knew her. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, she dedicated her life to her family, always ensuring that her loved ones felt safe, cherished, and supported. Her love was unconditional, and her heart, boundless. Her home - a haven, filled with laughter, warmth, and love. Dzwinka always made those around her feel special, and she had a remarkable way of making everyone feel included and valued.

As a mother, she taught us the meaning of patience, resilience, and unconditional love. To her grandchildren, Dzwinka was more than just a grandmother; she was a source of endless joy, a best friend, and a constant source of warmth. She had a unique ability to make even the simplest moments feel magical. Her fun-loving nature was matched only by her kindness and generosity.

Dzwinka is survived by her husband, Nicholas Holian, daughter Melanie and son-in-law Markian Pawluk, stepson Alexander Holian and daughter-in-law Daria, grandchildren Liana, Naya, Luke, Motria and Roman, and sister Roma Kwasnycia with children Bianca, Maya and Zorian (Dzwinka’s dear nieces and nephew). She is reunited with her son Daniel Komarjanski in heaven. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the stories we tell, the memories we share, the recipes we cook and the love we continue to give to others.

Family and friends are invited to a Memorial Visitation with Dzwinka’s ashes on Sunday, March 30, 2025 from 5pm to 7pm with Parastas service at 6pm at Kolodiy-Lazuta Funeral Home 5677 State Rd, Parma, OH 44134. Funeral Service on Monday, March 31, 2025 at 10am at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral 5720 State Rd, Parma, OH 44134 (please meet at church). Inurnment private.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Dzwinka’s memory to Ss. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Saint Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Parma, Ohio or Plast Camp-Pysanyj Kamin ("Friends of PK").

Rest in peace, Dzwinka. Your joy and love will live forever in our hearts.
