Obituary of Michaelene Kuka

Michaelene Kuka of Greenville died suddenly on April 30, 2025 at home.  She was 63 years old. 

The daughter of the late Lona and Michael Radocne, she was born on March 14, 1962 in Franklin, NJ.  

Michaelene was a woman of remarkable talent, dedicating many years of her career as a gifted seamstress at The Custom Shop in Franklin, NJ. Her skill and precision were unmatched, and though her expertise sometimes outshined her colleagues when she stepped in to assist, it was a testament to her talent and ability.  

Beyond her work, Michaelene found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had a green thumb and took pride in her flower gardens, nurturing in her craft and in nature. She also shared a love of fishing with her husband, exploring the waters of the Delaware River and beyond. Together, they cherished 39 years as partners, including 35 years of marriage—a bond built on companionship, adventure, and compatibility. 

In addition to her parents Michaelene was predeceased in life by her brothers in law Gregg Reilly and David Musto.  

Devoted wife of Richard Kuka at home.  Loving mother of Katrina Kuka with her husband Jymmy Kuka and Natalie Kuka with her life partner Hector.  Cherished grandmother of Khloe and Michael.  Dear sister of Delores Reilly.  Fond sister in law of Joanne Fratrich her husband Gary, Linda Musto, Thomas Kuka his wife April and James Kuka his wife Megan.  We would be remiss if we did not mention Michaelene was an aunt and great aunt.

Arrangements entrusted to the Knight-Auchmoody Funeral Home of Port Jervis, NY.
