Georgia A. Durachko – Obituary
Georgia A. Durachko, 87, of Clarence, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at her home. Born on March 6, 1933, in Renovo, she was the daughter of the late Harry E. and Erma M. (Heaps) Watt. On May 10, 1952 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Renovo, she married Clement P. Durachko.
Georgia attended the Renovo High School. She devoted her life to raising her children and being the best homemaker God ever created. She succeeded at that task.
Georgia was a devout Catholic. She was a member of the Queen of Archangels Parish in Clarence. She enjoyed singing, dancing, and loved music, art, cooking, baking, and reading. She loved to spend time with her entire family. She was very loyal to her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and numerous friends, especially the Saylor, Rivel, and Basalla families.
On her last day here on earth, she was able to attend the marriage of her son, David to Benildes. They married at Georgia and Clement’s home with family surrounding the occasion. She was there in spirit and shortly after the vows were said, while the family was saying the Rosary, Georgia passed into Gods arms and entered her heavenly home.
Georgia is survived by her husband; five children: Clement J. Durachko and his wife, Leta, of Berwyn, Alberta, Canada, Alice A. Stedman and her husband, Reginald, of Bellefonte, David L. Durachko and his wife, Benildes, of Clarence, Ellen M. Durachko Feeney and her fiancé, Dennis J. Bowden, Jr, of Norway, Maine, and Martin G. Durachko and his wife, Lori, of New Bethlehem.
Also surviving are her seven grandchildren: Letitia Vasconez and her husband, Christian, Paul D. Saylor, Sami Jo Fagair and her husband, Ashraf, Walter P. Feeney, Crystal M. Durachko and her companion, Jesse, Mary V. Bryce, and Caroline A.
