Jude Oniskey Obituary, Death – Jude Oniskey passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 10, 2022, at his home in Ephrata, PA. He left this world the same way he lived within it; with his faith, positive attitude, appreciation and love for his family and friends that surrounded him. He was a true patriarch, a caring soul who could always make you feel like a part of his family. Born in Philadelphia, PA he was the son of Mary (McCrossen) and the late Richard Oniskey. He was the beloved husband to Maureen (Bryan) Oniskey for over 39 years.
Jude was an active member of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. He was involved in the OMPH Parish Council, Knights of Columbus, and a member of Toast Masters International. He was employed as a Sales Executive for Comcast, and throughout his career he developed many life-long friendships.
Jude was a natural leader involved in his children’s active lives since they were infants. He was consistently volunteering to coach sports teams, head up groups like the Cub Scouts, and lead booster clubs. Jude was active in the community and a father to everyone. He always saw the best in others and encouraged them to pursue their dreams. Jude was an avid reader and enjoyed spending time at the beach, fishing, as well as biking and hiking. Everyone who Jude met was welcomed into his heart and home, where they were nourished by his passion for cooking, his kind heart, and his generosity.
