Julia Helen Timinskas (Thomesky, Tyminski), age 59, slipped away peacefully to God at her home on 2108 Jackson St., Scranton, Pa., on Valentine's Day in 1943.  She was the daughter of Joseph and Ann Bubelis (Bubel), Philadelphia, Pa.   

She immigrated to America with her family from Sutku, region of Kauno Apskritis, Lithuania.  Her mother's ancestral members were born in Bialystok, Poland and worked on the Podlaski horse farm.   Edwarda Jozef Tomasik. her grandfather, was a physician specializing in horses.  Her father, Jozef  Bubelis, was from Poland.   Julia married Anthony Timinskas in 1906 at St. Casimir's Lithuanian Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia and then relocated to Scranton, Pa. In 1914, she and her husband were founders and supporters of St. Michael's Lithuanian Roman Catholic Church on Garfield Ave./Jackson St., Scranton. 

Her dearest and most meaningful job was being a wife and raising three children. She made every religious holiday extra special. Julia was vivacious and full of life. She was experienced, knew so much more than she ever made obvious, and gently led everyone in the right direction. She was kind to everyone she met while always greeting you with a smile. Julia loved Polkas.  She continually kept everyone happy and well fed especially at the cottage at Lake Winola.  An avid gardener, she won many Blue Ribbons (1934) for her Dahlias and mixed double Asters (Honorable Mention) at the West Scranton Presbyterian Church on Washburn St. on Washburn St. in West Scranton. The altar at St. Michael's always had continuous fresh bouquets in the summertime. 

Julia was famous for her homemade Polish kielbasa, sauerkraut, and root beer. The household linens were beautiful as she was an exquisite embroiderer.

She is survived by her husband Anthony; sons August, Peter (Anne), and Edward; brother Juozas Bubelis, Sutkunai, Lithuania; sisters Elizabeth Tribulis and Veronica Mekis of  Philadelphia and Anelia Krauss of Hatfield, Pa.; one grandchild; extended family and many friends.
