Obituary for Flory "Coik" Stupic
Flory “Coik” Stupic, 94, of Heilwood died Monday, May 30, 2022 at Beacon Ridge, Indiana, surrounded by his family.
He was born July 3, 1927 in Heilwood, where he lived his entire life. The son of Florian and Helen (Hrastovscak) Stupic. Husband of Genevieve (Mirolak) Stupic. They were married August 13, 1955.
Flory was a World War II Navy veteran and a life-time member of the American Legion. He was a faithful member of the Church of the Resurrection, Heilwood. Flory worked 35 years and retired from the PA State Liquor stores.
Flory loved working in his vegetable garden, then sharing his bounty with others. He was a sports enthusiast and followed his children and grandchildren in all of their activities; always rooting for his Penns Manor Comets and Chicago Cubs.
Flory lived a full and productive life. He was an inspiring man, as he was able to live independently well into his 90’s.
His greatest joy was his family.

Five great-grandchildren: Tessa, Bennett, Mia, Grant, and Walker.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Genevieve on January 20, 2015 and his grandson, Christopher Stupic. Also, six brothers and four sisters: Joe, Mary, Frank, Anne, Dick, Katherine, Edward, Tom, Helen, and John. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
Visitation will be held from 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM, Thursday, June 2nd at Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home & Crematory of Clymer: 655 Franklin Street. A Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday morning at 9:30 AM at the Church of the Resurrection, Heilwood site, with Rev. Father James Morley, celebrant.
