Lena Danyleiko Obituary

Lena Danyleiko, 93, of Pittsfield passed away Saturday, October 16, 2021, at her home. Born in Richmond on July 26, 1928, daughter of Fiorindo and Balsimina Mettifogo Castagna, she attended school in Richmond and was a graduate of Pittsfield High School.


Lena was a Lead Keypunch Typist and later a Group Leader at General Electric Company in Pittsfield, MA where she worked for over 30 years.


She married the love of her life, Nicholas Danyleiko, on June 8, 1957 at St. Patrick’s Church in West Stockbridge and celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary this past summer. Lena loved Polka dancing with her husband, gardening, ceramics, bingo, and spending time with her cats Smokey and the late Quincy. She would often say her secret to long life was her cup of coffee. Her laugh was infectious, her smile lit up the room, and she will be greatly missed.


Lena leaves her husband Nicholas of Pittsfield and her two sons, Edward N. Danyleiko of Pittsfield, and Michael D. Danyleiko of North Hollywood, CA. She was predeceased by her sister Edith M. Jamross and three brothers, Fiorindo Castagna Jr., Reno D. Castagna, and John F. Castagna. She also leaves many nieces and nephews.
