Dear loving family and friends,
We want to share with you that Alene's mother, Lillian (Lil) Kudela, is now free from this world and passed peacefully to the eternal embrace of her Lord Jesus on Monday, July 25th. She and her family were extremely grateful for the in-home care and support provided by the John C. Fremont Hospital Hospice team. We praise God that Alene and her father, Al, were with Lil at home in Mariposa, California when she passed.
We are grateful that we had shared precious times with Al & Lil in recent months since we transitioned to California in December 2021, including a celebration of Lil's 90th birthday with family in March, and Al & Lil's 70th wedding anniversary in July.
A celebration of the life of Lil Kudela will be held at McCay Hall in Catheys Valley (2820 Hwy 140) at 10am on Saturday, August 6th. Colorful, casual attire is encouraged for the celebration, including Lil's favorite colors of pink and wine! The family requests that in lieu of flowers or other gifts, donations may be made to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church or Manna House, both in Mariposa.
The full obituary for Lillian Kudela is attached below.
Lil's absence will be deeply felt.
We are so grateful for your love and prayers.
In Christ's love and peace,
Steve & Alene Burgert
