Branching Out with Endre Csornán Bound by family and fraternalism Pair of William Penn members share a lifelong bond that extends beyond family AKRON, OH — As all sisters do, sisters Goldie Eudy and Thelma Nemeth share many special bonds. One of those bonds they also share with many of us~lifelong membership in the William Penn Association. Both are members of Branch 44 Akron. They are two of seven children born to Theresa and Julius Szülök, who immigrated to the United States in 1912. Goldie was born on Sept. 23,1916, in Massillon, Ohio. Married to the late Silas Eudy, she is the mother of three children. In addition, Goldie has five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Goldie was instrumental in her children and grandchildren becoming involved with our Association. In 2008, two of Goldie's grandchildren received William Penn scholarships for their education, and most recently in 2009, another grandchild received a WPA scholarship grant. All three grandchildren attend college in Arizona. Goldie was employed by Massillon Enterprises, Timken Roller Bearing, and retired from JoAnn Fabrics. She is a member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and spends her free-time working jigsaw and word search puzzles, and working in her yard. Thelma, who recently celebrated her 88th birthday on Dec. 9, 2009, worked as a riveter at Massillon Aluminum during World War II, making canteens. After the war, Thelma worked at the Massillon Sign Company. She later married William Nemeth of Dillonville, and they became the parents of three children. Granddaughter Kaylee is a WPA member. For enjoyment, Thelma loves working in her yard, playing bingo and keeps busy with her hobby of carving wooden ducks for her family. She also Sisters Goldie Eudy and Thelma Nemeth, both of Akron, Ohio, share many special bonds, including membership in the William Penn Association. enjoys baking, especially making csörge, (bow ties/ angel wings). In 1970 and 1973, Thelma and Goldie, along with Thelma's granddaughter, took their parents to visit their Hungarian homeland. While there, the Shulok's visited old friends and relatives they had left behind in 1912. Thelma still keeps in contact by writing to relatives in Hungary, as well as with those living in Australia. She is also godparent-byproxy to several children of these relatives. For Goldie and Thelma their ties to the William Penn Association have been lifelong connections. And those connections have continued for several more generations. We extend our heartfelt wishes to these sisters and their families throughout 2010 and for many years to come. fwpi~| 4 William Penn Life, January 2010 /
