Ania Shivley

Ania spent the last 14 months fiercely battling cancer that had returned after 22 years. Although she ultimately became cancer-free, complications from her treatments led to her passing.

Throughout her journey, she demonstrated the strength, resilience, and unwavering faith that defined her throughout her life.

Ania was born in Krakow, Poland, to Leszek Glanowski and Halina Padarev. She came to the United States at the age of 11, knowing neither English nor American traditions. It didn't take long for her to find her way. Soon enough, she was not only embracing a new

memories for generations of her family.

Ania was a licensed beautician who owned her own salons and beauty school. She was also a licensed medical assistant. Throughout the years, she continued working her magic with hair for her favorite clients and loved ones. For the past 10 years, Ania also loved working at Anthropologie, where she enjoyed helping customers and sharing her love of shopping.

But the role she loved most, and the one she embraced above all others, was loving her family, her friends, and everyone fortunate enough to cross her path.

Ania was an incredible chef who created the beloved Shivley Sunday Family Dinner tradition. She loved hosting, bringing everyone together, and making every holiday special with a full table and a full house. And when it came to a party, everyone knew her as DJ ANIA.

Ania was a member of St. Paul Parish and a former member of St. Matthew and St. Patrick Catholic Churches. Her faith remained a constant source of strength throughout her life and especially during her battle with cancer.

She had a way of lighting up every room she entered, not only with her stunning outfits but also with her infectious smile and vibrant personality.

Ania took immense pride in every role she held in life-as a wife, mother, stepmother, Mimi, daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, and friend. She gave each of these roles her whole heart. She was a wonderful role model to her two daughters, Alvi and Bella. She loved them with all her heart and cherished every moment she could spend with them, whether together in person or simply talking on the phone. She was incredibly proud to be Mimi to her grandchildren, Ryder and Shaylyn, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Ania is survived by her loving husband of 34 years, Patrick Shivley Sr.; her daughters, Alexandra Moser and her husband, Kyle, and their children, Ryder and Shaylyn Moser, and Bella Salmeron and her husband, Anthony; her stepsons, PJ Shivley and Andrew Shivley and his wife, Kaitlin; her mother, Halina Padarev; her father, Leszek Glanowski; her brother, Piotr Glanowski; and, of course, her beloved dogs, Lucy and Gia.

She was preceded in death by Robert Shivley and Nancy Shivley.

Ania's love, strength, laughter, traditions, and unmistakable personality will live on through the countless lives she touched and the family she loved so deeply. She will forever be missed and endlessly loved.
