Fabina Marie Kriszcziokaitis

Fabina Marie Kriszcziokaitis was born in Homewood, IL on March 3rd, 1931 as a full blooded Italian, something she was very proud of. She grew up in a modest home in Homewood, IL along with her two brothers. She attended Thornton High School. After graduation, she met a handsome young man named Daniel on a double date at the skating rink. After he graduated from Notre Dame they married on April 21st, 1951. They moved to Wichita, KS and lived in a downtown apartment for 4 years where they had 3 children. In 1954 they moved to a new house in Derby, KS. Here they had 3 more children. When the last child was in school, she became a cook for Assumption Saint Mary's grade school. When the children were grown, they spent many years as coaches for Catholic Engaged Encounters, where they impacted the lives of so many. After retirement, they spent time traveling the country and the world, and enjoyed spending time with the large extended family. When Daniel passed after 59 years of marriage, Fabina continued to travel the world, even visiting Russia, one of her favorite excursions. 

On August 9th 2026, at the age of 95, she left this world and was finally reunited with Daniel. Fabina was a devout Catholic that believed in her faith. Her hobbies included hand made quilting, reading and crossword puzzles.
