IN MEMORIAM

DR. KŐRÖSSY ZOLTÁN

1912-1995

SUSANNE CSIA

1918-1995

Dr. Kőrössy Zoltán hosszú betegség után elhunyt. A hegyaljai Makkoshotykán született 1912-ben. A világháború vihara sodorta először Németországba, majd 1949— ben az Egyesült Államokba. Előbb New York államban, majd Ohioban dolgozott. A Református Egyesülethez 1957-ben került. 28 éven át szolgálta Egyesületünket, washingtoni központi irodájában, a nyilvántartási osztályon. A főtisztviselők és munkatársak meghatottan búcsúztak a szeretett Zoltántól, az Egyesület nagyon megbecsült, hűséges munkatársától, aki hosszú és lelkiismeretes szolgálatával bele irta nevét az Egyesület történetébe.

Gyászolják: felesége, Klára, fia Zoltán, leánya Klári és unokái.

As a young woman, she fled advancing Soviet armies through the forests of Eastern Europe carrying her unborn child.

Later, as a loyal immigrant who became a citizen of the United States, she cared for the elderly here, comforting them and remaining strong as some died in her arms.

Susanne Csia was 77 when she died after suffering a heart attack just outside the church on Sunday. It was to that same church the couple had come in 1949 from a displaced prison camp in Germany, where they had lived since their flight home near the Carpathian Mountains, an area Hungarian in heritage but ceded to Romania after World War I.

A graduate of a teachers’ training college in Udarhely, Csia was a teacher in both Romania and Hungary. But as the Soviet armies and Romanian dictatorships advanced, the young couple fled their home and professions, escaping in a harrowing 10-month journey as she carried their unborn child, Kalman, Jr.

He was born in the refugee camp in Munich, where she assisted her husband in his ministering of other refugees.
