Christine H. Krzyzanowski

Christine "Teeni" H. Krzyzanowski, 84, of Reading, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, at Reading Hospital, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family. A devoted wife, mother, grammy, great-grammy, and sister, Teeni's life was centered entirely around those she loved.

For 63 wonderful years, she was the beloved wife of Lewis "Lewie" T. Krzyzanowski. The two were married on June 2, 1962, after growing up as next-door neighbors on Cotton Street. Their love story began in childhood and endured a lifetime.

Born in Reading, Teeni was the daughter of the late Stanley and Florence (Golembiewski) Bialek. She graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1959. For many years, she was employed at Linette Quality Chocolates in Womelsdorf. Teeni and Lewie were longtime parishioners of St. John Baptist de la Salle in Shillington, following the closure of St. Anthony's in Millmont.

Proud of her Polish heritage, Teeni and Lewie could be found every Sunday morning faithfully listening to "Polka Time" on the radio. She cherished summers spent with family in Ocean City, Maryland, and looked forward to casino trips with Lewie.

Teeni was a devoted mother and a proud and loving grandmother and great-grandmother. She treasured her children, grandchildren, and great-grandson beyond measure. For many years, she was also a loyal, dedicated caregiver to her sister, Diane. Her cousins held a special place in her heart, and family gatherings were among her greatest joys.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Lewie; her children, Linda Reifsnyder and her fiancé Vincent Desiderio of Exeter, and Michael Krzyzanowski and his wife Janine of Reading; her grandchildren, Ryan Reifsnyder and his fiancé Mindy Young, Katelyn (Reifsnyder) Mocadlo and her husband Michael, and Jordyn Krzyzanowski; and her great-grandson, Maxwell Mocadlo. She is also survived by her sister, Diane Bialek of Sinking Spring. Teeni shared a special bond with her beloved cat, Buddy, and her great-granddog, Millie.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Stanley E. Bialek, husband of Doris.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made in Teeni's memory to Prospectus Berco, either online at www.proberco.org/help-donate/ or by mail to 840 William Lane, Reading, PA 19604-1551.

She was a graduate of Shinnston High School, Shinnston, WV, and the University of Cincinnati, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education.

Angel Eduardo Goglad Rodriguez

Ángel Eduardo Goglad Rodríguez, nacido el 8 de enero de 1948 en Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, partió a la presencia del Señor el 17 de febrero de 2026, dejando un legado de amor, fe y dedicación que vivirá por siempre en el corazón de quienes tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo.

Hijo de Ángel Goglad y Julia Rodríguez, Ángel fue un hombre bondadoso, alegre y trabajador incansable. A lo largo de su vida se distinguió por su espíritu servicial, su responsabilidad y los sólidos valores que guiaron cada uno de sus pasos. Fue un padre ejemplar para sus hijos Olga, Héctor, Erick, Teddy y Carlos Javier; un orgulloso abuelo de 12 nietos Nicole, Kimberly,Yahir, Dereck, Delian, Emily, Yerielis, Lorianis, Ezequiel (Minimo), Gabriela, Keilyin y Adrian y bendecido bisabuelo de 3. También deja en luto a sus cuatro hermanos, así como a numerosos sobrinos y familiares que siempre encontraron en él consejo, apoyo y cariño.

Pero, sobre todo, fue un esposo profundamente enamorado. Hace 47 años, durante un viaje a Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, su vida cambió para siempre. Desde el primer instante en que vio a Asia M. Rodríguez quien se convertiría en su fiel compañera de vida, su corazón supo que había encontrado su hogar. Aquel viaje que sería temporal se transformó en el comienzo de una historia eterna de amor. No regresó, porque su destino ya estaba escrito junto a ella. Desde entonces, jamás se apartó de su lado, caminando juntos en cada etapa, en cada reto y en cada bendición, sosteniéndose mutuamente con amor, respeto y complicidad.

Ángel fue un hombre de fe firme. Hace muchos años entregó su vida al Señor y desde entonces le sirvió con devoción y gratitud. Fue miembro activo de la Iglesia Nueva Esperanza, donde se desempeñó como encargado de la cocina. Allí no solo alimentaba cuerpos, sino también corazones. Cocinar era una de sus mayores expresiones de amor. Su pernil, su gazpacho y sus inolvidables pizzas de huevo no solo llenaban la mesa, sino que reunían a la familia y a la comunidad en momentos de alegría que hoy dejan un vacío imposible de reemplazar.

Fue un hombre lleno de valores, profundamente comprometido con su familia, generoso en espíritu y rico en amor. Su legado no se mide solo en años, sino en las vidas que tocó, en los abrazos que regaló y en el ejemplo que sembró.

Hoy el cielo recibe a un siervo fiel, y la tierra despide a un hombre extraordinario. Aunque su ausencia duele, su amor permanecerá vivo por generaciones.

La velación se llevará a cabo el lunes 23 de febrero de 2026, de 6:00 p.m. a 9:00 p.m. la Iglesia Nueva Esperanza ubicada en 820 North 9th Street, Reading, PA 19601. Al día siguiente, martes 24 de febrero, nos reuniremos nuevamente en la funeraria Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, localizada en el 739 Penn. Ave., West Reading, PA 19611 a las 11:00am, donde el Pastor Ferdinand Vargas nos acompañara en oración . Luego se llevará a cabo una procesión hacia el cementerio Laureldale, ubicado en 4631 Pottsville Pike, Reading, PA 19605, donde a las 01:30 p.m. daremos cristiana sepultura a nuestro querido Eduardo.

Kuhn Funeral Home está a cargo de los arreglos funerarios. Las condolencias pueden expresarse en línea en: www.kuhnfuneralhomes.com

Elvira E. Padilla Candelario

Con profundo amor y gratitud por una vida bien vivida, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Elvira Esperanza Padilla Candelario, quien nació el 9 de septiembre de 1944 en Mayagüez y partió a la presencia del Señor el 15 de febrero de 2026, en la paz de su residencia, rodeada del amor de su familia.

Fue hija de Domingo Padilla y Victoria Candelario, quienes sembraron en ella los valores de fe, trabajo y fortaleza que la caracterizaron toda su vida.

Elvira fue una mujer trabajadora, creyente y de fe inquebrantable. Tenía un corazón bondadoso y generoso; era una madre devota, una amiga leal y una persona siempre dispuesta a servir. Alegre por naturaleza, iluminaba cualquier lugar con su presencia. Si algo no lo sabía, lo inventaba con creatividad y determinación. Era sumamente hábil, le gustaban los retos y enfrentaba cada adversidad buscando siempre una solución. Firme, decidida y con un carácter fuerte, su perseverancia fue una de sus mayores virtudes.

Vivió la mayor parte de su vida en su amada isla de Puerto Rico, hasta marzo de 2023, cuando se mudó a los Estados Unidos para estar más cerca de su familia, a quienes amaba profundamente.

Deja un legado de amor en sus hijos: Myrna Vélez Padilla, Juan Carlos Vélez Padilla y Luis Vélez Padilla; en su nieto Gabriel Vélez; y en su hermana Bienvenida Santana, quien le sobrevive. Su memoria permanecerá viva en cada enseñanza, en cada consejo y en cada acto de amor que sembró en quienes tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla.

Hoy celebramos su vida, su fortaleza y el hermoso ejemplo que nos deja. Su amor seguirá siendo guía y consuelo para todos nosotros. With profound love and gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we announce the passing of Elvira Esperanza Padilla Candelario, born on September 9, 1944, in Mayagüez, who peacefully entered eternal rest at her residence on February 15, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

She was the beloved daughter of Domingo Padilla and Victoria Candelario, who instilled in her the values of faith, hard work, and resilience that defined her life.

Elvira was a hardworking woman of deep and unwavering faith. She had a kind and generous heart; she was a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and someone always willing to help others. Joyful by nature, she brightened every room she entered. If she did not know how to do something, she would creatively figure it out. She was skillful, loved challenges, and faced every adversity determined to find a solution. Strong-willed and determined, her perseverance was one of her greatest strengths.

She lived most of her life on her beloved island of Puerto Rico until March 2023, when she moved to the United States to be closer to her family, whom she loved deeply.

She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children: Myrna Vélez Padilla, Juan Carlos Vélez Padilla, and Luis Vélez Padilla; her grandson Gabriel Vélez; and her sister Bienvenida Santana, who survives her. Her memory will live on in every lesson she taught, every piece of advice she shared, and every act of love she planted in the hearts of those blessed to know her.

Today we celebrate her life, her strength, and the beautiful example she leaves behind. Her love will continue to guide and comfort us always.
