FAMILY TRIBUTE

On the 8^th day of May of 1932 in Poland, Elizabeth and Zach had a baby girl named Tamara. She was one of four girls. At the age of 18, the family migrated from Ukraine to the United States. This is where she found the love of her life, Donald Wolske. After getting married at 20 years old, the two had three loving children; William, John and Donna. Tamara became a loving grandmother to 11 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. She spent 29 years of her life working as a cook in factories, where her friends and co-workers knew her as Martha. As a wife, mother and grandmother, she was loving, caring, compassionate, and genuine. She always went out of her way to take care of the ones she loved. She always made holidays special and brought the family together, unless it interfered with her bingo. Fashion played a large role in her life, as she was always dressed to the nine. You could frequently catch Martha at her beauty parlor; up keeping her signature hair-do. She and Donald loved traveling to Las Vegas. While there, they would sight see and gamble. On a daily basis you could find her at the bingo hall with her Buddha’s and other good luck charms at her table. How lucky are we, as a family, to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
