Charitina passed away on March 13, 2020 at Rydal Park Medical Center. She was 84.
Charitina was born on September 28.1935 in Lutsk, Volyn Oblast, Ukraine to the late Myron Ludomir and Yaroslava (Makuch) Zarycky. Her parents needed to flee Ukraine after the start of World War II in September, 1939. They gathered what belongings they could carry and together with her brother, John Ludomir, fled under the cover of night for Poland. From Poland they first moved on to Germany and Vienna then to Salzburg, Austria. There she attended school, where she was a classmate of Major Archbishop Lubomyr Husar.
They eventually continued their journey, leaving Salzburg and arriving in the United States sometime around 1948, taking up initial residence in Yonkers, NY. Charitina then attended Saint Mary’s Villa Academy in Sloatsburg, NY for her high school education. Upon graduating from St. Mary’s she continued with her college education at Fordham University, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. She became a Naturalized US citizen on April 3rd, 1956.
Charitina met her soulmate Roman Theodore Lytwyn in 1955, and they married on Thanksgiving Day, November, 22nd, 1956. They initially took up residence in Brooklyn, NY. Roman completed his Ph.D. level education in Civil Engineering at Columbia University, and found work at Boeing in Chester, PA. The family then left Brooklyn, moving first to Philadelphia, PA, then West Chester PA, and then again back to Philadelphia in 1971.
Charitina was an active member of various organizations including Ukrainian Women’s Association (CYA) and Tryzub.
Charitina was a homemaker during the early years but quickly entered the workforce after her children reached middle and high school ages. She worked various jobs, including as a social worker for the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Huntingdon, PA, then later worked for the Providence Associate near the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral on Franklin Street in Philadelphia. She retired in 2005.
