Donna Marie Boris Uroskie, 67, of Clarks Green, died Thursday at Moses Taylor Hospital after a heroic four-year battle with multiple myeloma. She is survived by her beloved husband of 46 years, Theodore W. Uroskie, M.D. Donna and Ted were not only husband and wife, but inseparable best friends.
Born in Ashland, daughter of the late John and Olga Pellish Boris, she was a graduate of Ashland Area High School and attained a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Bloomsburg University. She taught for many years in the Hatboro and Landsdowne school districts. Donna volunteered her talents to many charitable organizations. She was a past president of the Lackawanna County Medical Auxiliary, served as a delegate to the Pennsylvania Medical Alliance and served on the Abington Library Board. She was an active parishioner of the Church of St. Gregory, Clarks Green.
She loved to cook, entertain, garden and travel. Most importantly, she was devoted to her husband, children, and 11 grandchildren, whom she adored. She was also blessed to have many wonderful friends. Her poise, elegance and wisdom touched the lives of everyone she spent time with.
Her family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at Moses Taylor Hospital and the DaVita Dialysis Center for their outstanding care. They would especially like to thank Dr. Henry Yeager, Dr. Sal Scialla and all health care providers who provided Donna with their compassionate care and expertise throughout her courageous battle with cancer. They would like to also thank Allied Services rehabilitation therapists and home health aides, as well as her special aide, Priscilla.
She is also survived by two sons, Theodore W. Uroskie Jr., M.D., and wife, Susannah, Virginia Beach, Va.; and Jonathan A. Uroskie, M.D., and wife, Amy, Beverly, Mass.; a daughter, Kristen U. Lewis, D.P.T., and husband, Jason, Factoryville; 11 grandchildren, Alexa, Tripp, Matthew, Luke, Amanda, Kathryn, Thomas, and Margot Uroskie; and Tenzen, Karver and Varyn Lewis; a nephew, Andrew V. Uroskie, Ph.D.; and her godchildren.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday at 10 a.m. in the Church of St. Gregory, 330 N. Abington Road, Clarks Green, by Monsignor John H. Louis and concelebrated by the Rev. John M. Lapera, pastor. Interment, Cathedral Cemetery.
Friends may call Sunday, 5 to 8 p.m., at the church.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Northeast Regional Cancer Institute, 334 Jefferson Ave., Scranton, PA 18510.
