ZELINA

PAULINE

Age 102, of Stanton Heights, died peacefully with her family by her side on May 3, 2026. Pauline's family knew her as a devoted mother and grandmother. Beloved wife of 65 years of the late Leo F. Zelina. Loving mother of Elizabeth (Wayne) Sadowski; Paulette (the late Jude) Sadowski, Anthony P. Zelina, and Mary Veronica (Thomas) Blose, of Erie. Proud grandmother of John-Paul, Joshua, and Zachary Sadowski, Andrea and Paul Sadowski, Anthony J. and Jonathan Zelina; Justin Blose, Elizabeth Mary Pratt, and Stephen Blose of Erie. Also survived by 23 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. Sister of the late Genevieve Klos and the late Father Louis Petruha, OFM Cap. Daughter of the late John and Anna Petruha (Fesco). Pauline was a devoted Catholic, prayed the rosary, and attended Mass, something she looked forward to every week. She was a blessing in our lives, spending time to gather family for many happy events. She will be remembered for the life that she lived with grace, love, and kindness. We thank our dear Lord for giving our beautiful Mom to us. She enjoyed going out shopping with her daughters or just going out. Pauline loved bowling twice a week and worked on the election board. When she returned to her treasured home that Leo built, she always entered saying, "Praise Be To Jesus Christ Now and Forever." Now may she be at peace in her new eternal home.
