Mary D. Kodaski, 88, a resident of Luzerne, passed into eternal life early Sunday morning, October 18, 2026, in the comfort of the home that she lived in her entire life.
Her beloved husband of 63 years was the late Daniel E. Kodaski who passed away on November 03, 2024.
Born on June 05, 1938, at the family home in Luzerne, Mary was one of eight children born to the late Joseph “Pop” Bartorillo Sr. and Mary Troiani Bartorillo.
A graduate of the former Central Catholic High School, Kingston, Class of 1958, Mary went on to be a wonderful homemaker who dedicated her life to her family. She lovingly tended to her aging parents, her husband, and her host of nieces and nephews.
Mary was a devout Catholic and a member of Holy Family Parish, Luzerne, and, prior to its closing, a lifelong member of Sacred Heart Church, Luzerne.
Mary’s kitchen was the focal point of her home and when she was in her kitchen, it became the heart of her home. Famous for her cooking and baking, she expressed her love through food, and of her countless culinary delights, she was renowned for her gnocchi, cookies and fruit cake.
In addition to her parents, Joseph and Mary Bartorillo, and her husband, Daniel, Mary was preceded in death by her brothers, John, Peter, Joseph Jr., and Dean Bartorillo; and her sisters, Ann Rosenko and Angeline Jones.
Left to cherish her memory are her sister, Lucy Bresnahan, Exeter; as well as generations of nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Mary’s services which will begin with viewing on Friday from 8:30 to 9:30 AM at the Wroblewski Funeral Home, Inc., 1442 Wyoming Avenue, Forty Fort, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM in Holy Family Parish, 574 Bennett Street, Luzerne.
Entombment with the Rite of Committal will follow in Chapel Lawn Memorial Park, Dallas.
