Obituary: Monica Anita Operchuck, born 23, 1949 passed away 27, 2015.

Our mother, Monica Anita Operchuck was a very caring, loving and a person who would open her home to anyone in need. She was happiest when she knew she was helping others. Family was important to her as she enjoyed spending time with them. Our mother loved to bowl, gamble: even though she didn always win, cook and in her earlier years, sew clothes for her daughters.
Our mother will be truly missed; however, we know she is watching over us with her parents; Nana and Pop, along with other family members whom have gone before her. We Love You More.
In lieu of flowers, donations are welcomed at GofundMe: Monica Operchuck.
