In loving memory of: Dinkenesh Ainshet (February 5, 1954–November 2, 2024) 

Dinkenesh Ainshet 70 years old of Rochester, NY passed away on November 2, 2024. 

Dinkenesh was born in Tigray, Ethiopia in 1954. Through her time in Ethiopia she endured challenging experiences. Losing her parents at a young age, ultimately being raised by her grandmother. As a young adult she continued to deal with a number of challenges. In 1988 her sister Allefesh brought Dinkenesh and her children to America to provide them a better life. 

Dinkenesh attended school at the Family Learning center in order to learn the English language. She spent much of her life as a stay at home mom raising her children. When her children became old enough to watch themselves she began working. She started working full time house keeping at the Genesee Hospital then transitioned to Rochester General. Shortly after that she worked another full time position at St. Ann’s Nursing home. For many years she worked at both places until her accident occurred in 2006. Since then she has spent her life living and enjoying time with family and friends.

Dinkenesh Ainshet was preceded in death by grandson Joseph.
