Zaezzhay (Semerenko) Alina Sergeevna

Biography

CHILDHOOD AND CALLING
Alina was born on June 27, 1982, in the city of Zaporizhzhia. She grew up in a simple, hardworking family: her father, Sergey, was a skilled auto mechanic, and her mother, Alla, ran her own business as a private entrepreneur. From early childhood, Alina had a profound sense of beauty. She was fascinated by elegant, stylish, and designer things, and this passion quickly turned into her true calling.
After the 8th grade, following her heart, Alina enrolled in a tailoring school. There, alongside her best friend Elya, they became the top seamstresses of their class. The young women created stunning designer clothing for both men and women, pouring their hearts into every stitch and proving that fashion is a form of art.

A NEW PATH AND FINDING HAPPINESS
When her studies were completed, the young artisan had to face the harsh realities of the time - the country was still recovering from the severe economic crisis of 1998. Finding a decent, well-paying job in her field was virtually impossible. But Alina did not give up. Showing resilience and adaptability, she took a job at a furniture salon. This field unexpectedly revealed a new talent in her - Alina genuinely loved her work and found her true calling in furniture sales, bringing comfort and warmth into people's homes.
During this period, her husband Igor became her main pillar of strength. He supported Alina always and in everything, shared her joys, and became that dependable shield behind which she always felt safe.

A BIG HEART FULL OF LOVE
Animals always held a special place in Alina's life. Her kind heart had room for everyone: her home was always filled with barking and purring - cats, dogs, and hamsters found refuge and boundless care under her roof. Her husband Igor supported this passion from the very beginning, and their home was always full of furry pets. Alina was a person of rare empathy, always ready to help anyone in need at a moment's notice.

TRIALS AND PASSING
Regrettably, fate had many difficult trials in store for Alina. Just as the family's life began to stabilize, her beloved father passed away. Shortly after, Alina faced a severe illness. Due to her progressing health issues, she was forced to leave the job she loved at the salon. Throughout this entire time, her husband Igor stayed by her side, dedicating all his strength to her treatment and support.
The year 2022 brought new upheavals with the outbreak of the war. Amidst the shared tragedy, Alina endured deep personal losses: one after another, one of her cherished pets and her dear mother passed away. For Alina, whose body was already exhausted by years of illness and continuous medical treatments, this was a devastating blow.
Weakened by grief and a prolonged battle for her health, Alina fell ill on June 19, 2025. Her husband immediately called for doctors, but her tired body, having exhausted all its resources, stopped fighting. She passed away that evening.

A big, pure, and kind heart has stopped beating. Alina passed away just a week before her 43rd birthday. She will forever remain in our memories as an incredibly caring, bright, and beautiful girl with deep, gently sad eyes, who was always ready to warm the entire world with her kindness.
Forever loved, forever missed, forever in our hearts.
