Marie Kokulak's Obituary
Marie Kokulak, aged 88, died peacefully at home on May 17th. She was the first generation born in Brooklyn, NY of Irish immigrant parents from County Waterford.
She lived in St. Petersburg, Florida for the last 30 years. She is pre-deceased by her husband, Mike Kokulak, and her daughter Helene Lis. She is survived by her children, John Hiryak, Rosemarie Imtanios, Linda Hiryak and Michael Kokulak. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
Marie enjoyed life to the fullest and loved to travel. She was usually the life of the party with her sense of humor. She was fashion forward throughout the decades and never would be seen without lipstick and earrings. She was generous, compassionate, always willing to help family and friends. All that knew her will miss her. Her family is grateful for the many years we had her in our lives and the lessons she imparted. She was one in a million. We love you Mommy.
