Kristine M. Bilecky's Obituary
Kristine Bilecky (nee Kish), 64, passed away August 8, 2022. Beloved wife of 42 years to Raymond Bilecky. Loving mother of Michelle and Gregory (Muanfun). Daughter of the late Robert and JoAnn Kish. Dear sister of Therese Denner (David), Jeanne McGlone (Robert), Steven Kish, Jennifer Kelovsky (Kenneth), Daniel Kish, and the late Gregory Kish (Milissa; surviving). Aunt to many nieces and nephews. “Mama Kris” and nanny to many.
Kristine was the glue that held our family together. She was a friend to everyone she met, and always had time for conversation. She had the natural ability to convert strangers into family members. Identifying and sharing the beauty of God’s handiwork, in all things, was a focal point of her daily life. Whether it be in human acts, wildlife, nature, or something as simple as the shape of a cloud, she saw that beauty. She spent her life dedicating her time to helping others. Continuing to do so, even after her passing; as an organ and tissue donor she was able to improve the lives of potentially over 100 people. Kristine was very active at St. Joseph Lenten Dinners and Picnic Committees. While family was the most important thing to her in the world, she also enjoyed traveling, kayaking, fishing and the Metroparks. She also loved Disney and the beach. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
