Hannelore Cheitowskyj, a devoted matriarch and resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at the age of 91.
Born on March 9, 1934, in Wammen, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Steinert. As a young child, Hannelore displayed incredible resilience, surviving the upheaval of World War II. She was the beloved wife of the late Ivan Cheitowskyj Sr., whom she outlived, carrying his love with her for many years.
Hannelore received her education in Germany and, embracing a new life, emigrated with her husband to the United States in the early 1960s. They settled in the Burholme section of Philadelphia, where they lovingly raised their family. Hannelore worked diligently in a local factory, demonstrating the strength and dedication she applied to all aspects of her life.
Her greatest joy, however, was her family. Hannelore loved a lot; she was happiest being a mother and grandmother, dedicating herself to raising her children and doting on her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In her free time, she found solace in reading, nurturing the colorful flowers in her garden, and sharing her love through cooking for her family. She also cherished the loyal companionship of her dogs throughout the years.
She is survived by her loving children: Tamara Garnreiter (Ralph), Victor Cheitowskyj (Carol), Lena Felker, and Ivan Cheitowskyj (Kim). Hannelore was predeceased by her beloved son, Peter Cheitowskyj. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will continue her legacy of love.
Relatives and friends were invited to her visitation on Friday, November 7, 2025 from 2:00 to 3:00 P.M. at Wetzel and Son Funeral Home, 419 Huntingdon Pike, Rockledge, PA 19046
