Stasia Stryjek

Albany-Stasia Stryjek, 97, peacefully passed into eternal rest Thursday, January 7, 2021 at Pruitt Health Nursing Home in Panama City Florida with her loving daughter and son-in-law at her side. She was born in Albany, NY, on March 23, 1923. Family was very important to Stasia. There was never any question over who the cornerstone of the family was. Through some very tough times, with her staunch commitment to her Catholic faith as her guide, she steadfastly provided love, guidance, and direction to her family. Her children’s friends, who looked forward to her famous Golumbkis, affectionately called her “Ma”. They, too, would get words of wisdom and direction when needed. She loved her arbor hill neighborhood, her church (Saint Casmir), and particularly the people she called neighbors and friends. Stasia is predeceased by her loving husband of 52 years Eugene Walter Stryjek, and her son Eugene Walter Stryjek Jr. (Peggy). She is survived by her daughter Mary Anne Crane (David) of Panama City, FL; sons Paul Stryjek (Sandra, deceased; Judy) of Ballston Spa, NY, and John Stryjek (Ann) of West Suffield CT; her brother Louis Dobek; her grandchildren Nicholas, Matthew, Robert, William, Allison, Joshua, Jonathan, Nicole, John, Jimmy, Michael; her great grandchildren Cassandra, Bowden, Addison, Peyton, Peyton, Collin, Elizabeth, Ethan and Logan. The family of Stasia Stryjek would like to thank Covenant Care Hospice for providing compassionate care through her final days and the staff and nurses of Pruitt Health of Panama City Florida for truly providing our Mom with fantastic care over the last year. Special love to Mary Anne and Dave Crane for unselfishly being Mom’s loving caretakers over the last seven years. Words cannot express our gratitude. We can never thank you enough.
