The Sophia Baryluk (Venechuk) Family Story
Yesterday is Gone.... But Her Legacy Lives On!
by Sophia Baryluk


Having lost her own mother during child birth, and her father dying shorty thereafter, Sophia's strength, faith, and determination saw her through a lifetime of hardships. While successfully raising eleven children, her gift of love and her strong will to succeed were two powerful forces used to overcome all adversities. Sophia's story of enduring illnesses, deaths, coal miners strike, poverty, and illiteracy is a lesson of perseverance and dedication to family.
