Holyoke- Ina Y. Klimczuk, 73, passed away on June 7, 2026. Born on July 11, 1952, in Holyoke, she was the beloved daughter of the late Walter and Jadwiga (Jaskiewicz) Klimczuk.

Ina received her early education at Mater Dolorosa and was a proud graduate of Holyoke High School. She continued her studies at Holyoke Community College, earning her associate’s degree, and went on to graduate from Mount Holyoke College with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts.

Ina dedicated over 40 years as an Accounting Manager at the J. Polep Distribution Center in Chicopee. Outside of her career, Ina expressed her creativity in many ways. She had a passion for decorating, cooking, and gardening, and took great pride in making her surroundings warm and welcoming.
