She lived with her son Piotr because she died in Lyniew where Piotr moved in about 1866 moving first from Lomazy to Rossosz and then to Lyniew. Her age in the death certificate is given as 70 and her parents are listed as unknown. The Russian authorities considered her to be a Greek-Catholic, because the Roman-Catholic priest of Wisznice was fined for arranging her funeral.

Greek-Catholics in Poland were the members of the Uniate Church following the accord (Union of Brest in 1595) between the Roman-Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church in Poland. After the partition of Poland, the formerly Greek-Catholic territory was mostly divided between Russia and Austria. In the Russian partition, that included Volhynia and Podolia, only in the easternmost areas of Podolia the population quickly and voluntarily returned to Orthodoxy. Initially, the Russian authorities were extremely tolerant of the Greek-Catholic church and allowed it to function (calling them Basilians). However immediately the clergy was split into pro-Catholic and pro-Russian, with the former tending to convert to Latin Rite Catholicism, whilst the demands of the latter group led by Bishop Joseph Semashko being firmly rejected by the ruling Greek-Catholic synod still largely controlled by the pro-Polish clergy with the Russian authorities largely refusing to interfere. The situation changed abruptly following the Russia successful suppression of the 1831 Polish revolt aimed at overthrowing the Russian control of the Polish territories. As the uprising was actively supported by the Greek-Catholic church, the crackdown on the Church became imminent. The pro-Latin members of the Synod were removed and the Church began to disintegrate with its parishes in Volhynia reverting to the Orthodoxy including the 1833 transfer of the famous Pochaiv Lavra. In 1839 the Synod of Polotsk (Modern Belarus) under the leadership of bishop Joseph Yamashko dissolved the Greek-Catholic church in the Russian Empire, and all its property was transferred to the Orthodox state church. The dissolution of the Greek-Catholic Church in Russia was complete in 1875 with the abolition of the Eparchy of Kholm (Chelm). Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Greek_Catholic_Church
