Mildred Julia (Kluka) Sviatyla (1924-2022), fell asleep in the lord at home on January 29th in Fernandina Bch, FL surrounded by her devoted and beloved daughters. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Harold in 1989. She is survived by her three daughters: Daria (Chip) Schewe, Punta Gorda, FL, Melonie (Cliff) Herman, Fernandina Bch, FL, Loreen (Peter) Chin, Sarasota, FL, grandchildren Cody, Elissandra, and Jesse Chin, step grandchildren Jeffrey, Christopher and Matthew Schewe, Jared, Nicholas and Jonathan (Zanita) Herman, sister-in-law Valeria Smayda, godchild/niece Karen (John) Zapko, niece Diane (Bob) Mueller, and many other loved nieces, nephew and cousins.
Mildred resided on Warren Street in Vestal for almost 40 years, and enjoyed many close and warm relationships with her neighborhood family. She belonged to St Peter and Paul’s RO church in Endicott where she developed many special and long lasting friendships.
In 2014, Mildred started splitting her time between her daughter’s homes in NY, and FL where she was affectionately known as “Mamma Millie”. She was a wonderful and loving woman who touched everyone she met with her zest for life, vivacity, generosity and wit. She thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with people via email and Facebook, watching Jeopardy, and remembering family and friend’s birthdays with a card or note. Her memory was phenomenal and many times left her family speechless with her ability to remember names, faces, dates and of course birthdays. Mamma Millie will be dearly missed by ALL who were fortunate enough to have known her.
Funeral services will be held, Friday April 8, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. at Sts. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church, 210 Hill Ave. Endicott, NY. Burial will follow in Vestal Hills Memorial Park, Vestal, NY. The family will receive friends at the church on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until time of service at 12:00 p.m.
