Helen J. Rydarowicz 1946-2021

Helen was born Nov. 10, 1946, in Youngstown, a daughter of Charles James and Mildred Ada McMurray DeVeto, and was a lifelong Hubbard resident.

She was a 1965 graduate of Hubbard High School.

She was a member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Hubbard.

Helen was a stay-at-home wife and mother for 56 years. She loved family gatherings, cooking, baking, and was especially known for her delicious cheesecakes. She also loved shopping and planting flowers with her husband and grandson, Justin, every year, making their yard look especially beautiful.

Helen loved to decorate for every holiday. Christmas was her favorite, especially shopping for everyone and the big Christmas party for the whole family.

She loved going to Hubbard football games to watch her grandsons play, Ciarra cheer, and Savannah, a majorette.

Helen will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by her family: her husband, Francis Jerome Rydarowicz, whom she married July 5, 1965; her children, John Michael Rydarowicz of Hubbard, Cheryl Lynn Pregi of Niles, Karen Ann Rydarowicz of Hermitage, Pa., Francis Jerome Rydarowicz Jr. of Hubbard and Diane Marie Rydarowicz of Hubbard; 19 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Joanne Marie Varga; and brothers, Charles James DeVeto and John R. DeVeto.

There will be a Memorial Mass of Christian burial Monday, Sept. 27, 2021, at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Michael Swierz officiating, with calling hours prior to the Mass, from 10 to 10:45 a.m., at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church. The family strongly requests that all visitors wear a mask.

Helen will be laid to rest in Hubbard Union Cemetery.
