Olena Mazka passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, at the age of 86.
Olena was a private and thoughtful person who found joy in everyday moments. She loved spending time with her family, especially her great-grandchildren. She was a dedicated doctor who worked in internal medicine, always caring with quiet commitment for the people in her community whom she served for over 45 years. Her family will always remember the great many vacations they took together, her love of reading, playing bingo on quiet evenings, and making homemade pelmeni that brought everyone to the table.
She is survived by her daughter Tetyana, her grandchildren, Alisa and Dima, her great-grandchildren, Aryna and Sabrina, her brother Vadim, her nephew Andrey and her niece Olga, and many more family and friends who will miss her deeply.
Visitation will be held 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Malec & Sons Funeral Home, 6000 North Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60646.
Interment to follow at Memorial Park Cemetery, 9900 Gross Point Rd, Skokie, IL 60076.
The family kindly asks that in lieu of flowers, you remember Olena in your own way—through a quiet moment, a shared story, or a favorite meal.
