Obituary for Lena Kulina (Majewicz)
Lena (Majewicz) Kulina, 96, of Suffield, departed this earth and joined her beloved husband of 67 years Walter Kulina Jr. Lena passed on February 21, 2019 at St. Francis Hospital, peacefully surrounded by her loving family. Born in Chicopee, MA on September 20, 1922, daughter of the late Michael and Catherine (Sabat) Majewicz.
Lena was a lifelong member of St. Joseph Church and more recently Sacred Heart Parish. Lena was a wonderful strong wife, mother, aunt, and friend. She instilled good core values in her family, never spoke a curse word, and taught her children patiently and lovingly. She enjoyed cooking, baking, crocheting, tatting, and working on the farm.
