Janie M. Kocisko's Obituary
Janie M. Kocisko (née Tyhulski), age 78, passed away on June 20, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late Ronald R. Kocisko, with whom she shared 53 years. Janie was a devoted mother to Brian (Kim) Kocisko and Jessica Zingalis, and a proud and loving grandmother to Josilyn and Rylinn. She was the cherished sister of Nancy Rybicki (the late Jerry), and the daughter of the late August and Mildred Tyhulski.
Janie held her family close to her heart. Her deep love and care for them was the foundation of her life, and she was happiest when surrounded by those she loved. Whether through quiet moments together, thoughtful conversations, or simply sharing in life’s daily routines, she made it clear how much her family meant to her.
One of Janie’s quiet joys was watching favorite shows with her family—especially with her late husband, Ronald—a comforting routine that brought them closer together. These small, meaningful traditions reflected her warm heart and steady, nurturing spirit.
Janie will be remembered for her gentle heart, her kindness, and the quiet strength she brought to those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, care, and the deep bonds of family that will continue to hold strong.
A graveside service will be held on MONDAY, JULY 21, 2025 at 1:45PM at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery.
