Pauline Aliotti Obituary
July 11, 1941 - May 25, 2022
Monterey
Pauline Joann Aliotti passed from this life on May 25, 2022, following a brief illness. She was the eldest of Mary and Nicola Aliotti's three children.
Pauline was born and raised in Monterey, graduated from Monterey Union High School, and attended Monterey Peninsula College. She was further educated in beauty and fashion in San Francisco and in retail management in London, and pursued continuing professional training throughout her varied career. She worked first in beauty and fashion, followed by healthcare, retail (Saks 5th Avenue, Anne Klein, Royal Doulton), and later hospitality. Her love for the Monterey Peninsula was most evident in her last 30 years working with the Monterey Chamber of Commerce, then as longtime concierge at the Portola Hotel, and most recently in visitor services with the Pebble Beach Company.
Pauline loved traveling and counted among her favorite destinations London, Lisbon, Spain, Africa, Hawaii, Mexico, China, and of course Italy and Sicily. She particularly valued learning the history of each place she visited.
Pauline was a shining example to all who knew her, dedicating each day to her enthusiastic pursuit of mindfulness, health, and happiness. Her joyful approach to this life will be greatly missed. She is survived by her sister Tina (Gene) Moscuzza, her brother John (Melissa) Aliotti, her nieces Debbie and Diana Moscuzza and nephew Kevin Moscuzza, and her nieces Madeline and Elise Aliotti. Also surviving her are many cherished cousins both here and in Sicily, and an army of devoted and beloved friends.
The family has scheduled visitation at Mission Mortuary in Monterey on Tuesday, June 7 at 5 pm (Rosary service at 6 pm), and a funeral mass at San Carlos Cathedral in Monterey on Wednesday, June 8 at 10 am. Private interment will follow. Pauline's family thanks her many friends and extended family members for their love and prayers. For online condolences visit www.missionmortuary.com.

I worked with Pauline at Portola Hotel and she was such a joy and breath of fresh air. She was my Italian buddy. My heart and prayers go out to her family. She is another angel in heaven. So sorry for your loss.
