Jacquline Pacinelli Obituary

Name: Mass of Christian Burial for Jacquline "Jackie" C. Pacinelli
Start: 2020-11-28T15:00:00.000Z
Location: St. James Catholic Church

We are saddened by the loss of Jacquline "Jackie" C. Pacinelli, who died peacefully on Saturday, November 21, 2020 at St. Mary's Home of Erie.

Jackie was born in Erie on May 20, 1930 and was co-owner and operator of Carmen's Italian Restaurant, established by her parents and grandparents in 1938. A favorite Erie institution, Carmen's was in operation for nearly 75 years before it closed in 2012.

Jackie is survived by her sister, Norma Tullio; and was preceded in death by her parents, Carmine and Thresa; sisters, Gloria and Marlene Pacinelli; and brother, Raymond Pacinelli.

In addition to operating a family restaurant, Jackie was a devoted aunt to numerous nieces and nephews, Mary Tullio Batyko (George) of Pittsburgh, Pa., Christine Tullio of Chicago, Ill., Carmen Pacinelli (Linda) of Placida, Fla., Daniel Pacinelli of Fort Pierce, Fla., and Joseph Pacinelli (Paula), Susan Pacinelli DiVecchio (Mark), John Pacinelli (Rhonda), Jerry Pacinelli (Elizabeth), and Michelle Pacinelli, all of Erie. Jackie also enjoyed her 15 great-nieces and nephews, as well as several great-great-nieces and nephews.

Jackie loved people. Children along with pets were drawn to her. She greeted everyone with a smile and we will all remember her numerous "one-line" comments. All who knew her, know she is looking down thinking you look like you lost weight and she loves your outfit. She will be missed by many.

The family sends a heartfelt thank you to the staff at St. Mary's Home of Erie for their love and care.

Dear Pacinelli Family-

We are so sorry to hear of Jackie's passing. She was such a sweetheart and along with the rest of the girls, always made us feel like we were at home with family whenever we stopped in to the restaurant for a meal.
All of you are in our prayers. Until we meet again Jackie!

Dear Joe, Paula, Jerry, Liz, and all of the Pacinellis,

Kathy and I offer all of you our deepest sympathy on Jackie's passing into eternal life. Words can be difficult to come by at this time, but it's comforting to know that Jackie is "safely home."

SAFELY HOME

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh but Jesus’ love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth –
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home:
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you home!

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

God Bless, Prayers, and Love,
