Josefa Dobszay is my great-grandmother, but everyone called her by her nickname, Namika. She was an absolutely amazing woman who laughed with her whole body throughout her life. This, despite:
Living through two world wars in Eastern Europe (Hungary);
Being widowed very early in life with two young daughters;
Coming to the US with one daughter's family right after WWII with almost nothing & not knowing the language;
Living directly across the street from the old Pittsburgh steel mills/railroad yards;
Surviving her first bout of cancer in the early 1960s & being one of the first colonoscopy survivors in the country...
It is truly amazing what she saw & experienced in her life, but she laughed through it all and made sure her family laughed along with her. Plus, she cooked the most fabulous meals you will ever have encountered! I am so lucky that she was part of my life until I was almost an adult.
