Cuba – Breanna Susan Winicki, 25, of Cuba, N.Y ended her
battle with pain, suffering, loss, and addiction early Tuesday morning November
26th. Breanna was a smart, talented, and
loving young lady. She graduated with
honors from Cuba-Rushford High School.
She was a very talented saxophone player and played in the high school
band and Jazz Band. She also had a
beautiful voice and sang with different choruses, from high school choir and
Pop Group to county and state-wide choirs.
She had a very promising future but when her Dad passed away from cancer
when she was 16- years-old, her whole life fell apart. She struggled with grief and then addiction
as she grappled with her difficulties.
But she persevered and determined to try and get her life
back together, she began attending J.C.C. in Olean, N.Y. in August where she
was doing very well. She loved calculus,
her teacher, and was very proud of herself for having a 100+ average. Breanna always excelled when it came to
applying herself mentally and solving puzzles.
Breanna had a very loving and supportive family who wanted
to see her do well. She also had some
wonderful friends – Hannah Gaeta, Patrick Chesney, Kandice Horn, and several
others. Her family and friends knew that
she was doing the best she could, but I always knew that she still had that
hole in her heart in the shape of her father.
We are heartbroken for her, and by her loss.
She will be missed by; her mother, Laura Noll, stepfather,
Steve Noll, sisters, Bridgette, Brooke, and Macy Winicki, stepsisters, Kayla
and Jocelyn Noll, stepmother, Beth Arford, maternal grandparents, Fred and Mary
Jane Kunderman, precious nephew, Auden Irving, paternal grandparents, Glenn
Clark and Sue Winicki, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Breanna was
predeceased by her father, Eric Winicki, in 2011.
Breanna Susan Winicki’s memorial service will be held at the
Mark F. Rinker Funeral Home & Memorial Service, Inc, 9 Bull Street Cuba,
N.Y. on Monday, December 2nd from 5p.m. to 8p.m. Online condolences may be sent at www.rinkerfuneralhome.com.
