Obituary

Olga Panycia, 82, of Paterson, passed away on June 29, 2026. Born in Austria to Ukrainian parents, she came to the U.S. in 1950 and settled in Paterson where she has lived for most of her life.

Beloved wife for over 50 years of Wasyl Panycia. Devoted mother of Nicholas Panycia and his wife Josephine, William Panycia, Walter Panycia and his wife Maria, Peter Panycia and his wife Karen. Loving grandmother of Nicholas, Joseph, Alexa, Madison, Peter. Dear sister of Barbara Pasicznyk.

Olga always loved God’s Word, and she began studying the Bible with one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the 1980’s. She was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on September 4, 1988, and remained an active member of the West Congregation in Paterson, NJ. Olga’s zeal for the ministry and meetings was never tempered by her health or limitations. Olga’s joy, warm personality, and loving nature will be dearly missed by all her close friends, young and old, at the Kingdom Hall.

Her congregation was an important part of her life, and she treasured the friendships and fellowship she shared with her spiritual family. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, generous heart, and the quiet strength with which she lived by. Her legacy of love, faithfulness, and devotion will continue to inspire her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Viewing for friends and family will begin Friday, July 3, 2026, 9-11 AM at the Shook Funeral Home, 639 Van Houten Ave., Clifton. A funeral Service will begin at 11 AM. Interment to follow at East Ridgelawn Cemetery, Clifton.
