Amalia Rozalia Dayka, age 93, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 6, 2024. She was born June 4, 1931, in Jaszszentandras, Hungary to Emanuel and Terezia Redei. She married her love, Frank Dayka on June 20, 1953, who preceded her in death on January 22, 2013.

Amalia dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her husband Frank and four children, Liz, Leslie, Frank and Dave. Amalia’s greatest joy came from spending time with her family and fostering a loving home. She loved hosting family and holidays dinners, which included preparing authentic Hungarian dishes for everyone to enjoy. Her love for nurturing things was also evident in her beautiful gardens that she tended to over the years.
