Zenaida Maria Warunki
It is with heavy hearts that we announce on September 7, 2025, we lost Zenaida Maria Warunki.
She passed away following her long, courageous battle with cancer; surrounded by the love of her family.
Zen’s ability to bring joy, laughter, and love to any room was unmatched. The love she had for her family was boundless, and her spirit and laughter will echo in their hearts forever.
She will be dearly missed by her devoted husband Dean, who remained by her side every day; her son, Stephen; her daughter, Shaelyn (Kolton); her mother, Zenalia Lopes; her brother, Paul Lopes (Trish); as well as many family and friends.
She was predeceased by her father, Manual Lopes in 1973 and her brother, Carlos Lopes, in 2025.

My sincere condolences to the Lopez/Warunki families.
Marie was such an amazing person and always ready for a good chuckle and an understanding ear. We spent many hours after our girls nights chatting about our futures and sharing our faith.
Marie was tiny but possessed such amazing willpower. Her love for her family, huge. Her affection for her friends, strong. Marie’s passing will leave a hole in the hearts of all who loved her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
There was no one funnier, and no one loved shoes more. Marie made such an impact on those of us who worked with her and she will be deeply missed. My condolences to the family; she will leave a giant hole in their hearts, as she has with mine.
My heartfelt condolences to Marie’s family and friends during this tragic loss. I have so many wonderful memories of this beautiful woman who so positivity touched all who knew her.
Rest in peace, my beautiful friend. You will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time.
Sending our prayers & condolences Dean, Stephen and Shaelyn. May your hold her memories close yo your heart ❤️ RIP Marie🙏

I am so heartbroken to hear of this news even though we were all prepared. “Auntie” Marie was there for most of my childhood and she was in a word, amazing! I will always remember her energy, wit, big generous heart, and unconditional love, days/nights spent at her home playing and watching movies. This is a big loss for my family and my heart goes out to “Uncle” Dean, Shaelyn, Steven, and the rest of her family! We will miss you dearly Marie! <3
To all family members,
We’re so very sorry for your loss. Our family will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family during this tough time.
Ewa Wojtek Gryko and all our family.
Our sincere condolences to the Lopez and Warunki families. We will always remember your great sense of humour and your kindness. So many good memories! Rest in peace my dear friend!
We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. I know how much she meant to you all, and our hearts goes out to you in this difficult time. Please know that we are here for you with love, support, and comfort.
Rest in peace Maria. The world will not be the same without you – The neighborhood will not be the same and your home will not be the same. There’s solace in knowing you’re no longer in pain. You and Dean are the best neighbors one can ask for. Your bakings were delicious and your humor was infection. Sriracha and Rocket, Shawna and i will miss you dearly.
May you watch over Dean and the kids and send laughter and joy. You can now enjoy cooking and laughing without being in pain. So enjoy the weather, take care of yourself. Travel the world without being cramped in a plane. Go see the sights, try the food and enjoy the adventures,
Maria we will miss you dearly. May every day be Christmas ! You will be missed but never forgotten.
