Ursula Kozemko

In loving memory of Ursula Kozemko, who graced this world with her presence on March 25, 1933, in the town of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Ursula peacefully departed this life on November 3, 2026, surrounded by the love she so freely gave throughout her life. Ursula was the beloved daughter of Joseph and Mary Mamola, who instilled in her the values of love, warmth, and a generous spirit. She was predeceased by her cherished husband, Joseph Kozemko Sr., her parents, her brothers Jack, Joseph, and Fran Mamola, her devoted daughter-in-law and caregiver, Diane Kozemko, and her granddaughter, Brittney Kozemko. Her legacy of love and laughter will continue through her surviving children, Joseph Kozemko Jr., and John "Jack" along with his wife Jamie. She leaves behind two grandchildren, Adrian and Jessica, and seven great-grandchildren: Ellianna, Vayda, Aria, Bailey, Elsie, Jackson, and Wylie, each of whom brought immense joy to her life. Ursula and Joseph Kozemko began their journey together in marriage in 1958, a union that exemplified partnership and devotion. She was a proud graduate of Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and dedicated her professional life as a Clerical Worker for Social Security. Ursula was also an active member of St. Peter and Paul's Parish until its closing, where she nurtured lifelong friendships and shared her faith. A woman of many interests, Ursula delighted in spending her days engaged in puzzles and artwork with her great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life. Her love for bright-colored tulips and butterflies was only surpassed by her affection for her family. Known for her delightful sense of humor, Ursula could always elicit a smile from those around her. She never left home without her hairbrush, ensuring she was always ready to spread her warmth and kindness to everyone she met. Her love for sweets was a small testament to her sweet nature, always savoring that extra bite after every meal. Ursula's life will be celebrated with a service on November 9, 2026, at 5:00 PM at Nat, Gawlas and Jordan Funeral Home, located at 89 Park Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Allied Services Hospice Center in Wilkes-Barre, PA, for their compassionate care in Ursula's final days. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests donations to a charity of your choice in Ursula Kozemko's memory, keeping her spirit of generosity alive. May Ursula’s legacy continue to inspire and bring comfort to those who knew her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered with love.
