Ann Pabian Obituary
Ann Pabian, 95, of Trenton, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at the Serenity Hospice Inpatient Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
Born, raised, and educated in Plymouth, PA, Ann brought her warmth and spirit to New Jersey after graduation, where she remained a proud and devoted resident for the rest of her life. She spent over 12 years working with the Hibbert Group before retiring in 2000.
Ann was a woman of unwavering faith, whose life was guided by love, service, and devotion to her church and community. A longtime and devoted parishioner of the former St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, she generously gave of her time and talents as a member of the Altar Rosary Society, a Bingo volunteer, and a dedicated Lector. Her commitment extended beyond worship, as she actively participated in church and school functions and even served as the school librarian for a time.
Following the parish merger, Ann embraced Holy Cross Church with the same grace and devotion, continuing to worship regularly and offering her steadfast support to her new church family. Her deep faith, kind heart, and enduring generosity touched all who knew her, and her legacy of service and love will long be remembered.
Predeceased by her parents, John and Agnes (Dziob) Potera; and her beloved husband, Edward M. Pabian; and her brother, Edward Potera and his wife, Stella; she is survived by her three children, Joanne Pabian-Laslo and husband, Thomas Laslo, Paul Pabian and Thomas Pabian; grandchildren, Eric Laslo, Michael Laslo, Heather (Laslo) Hodnicki and husband Joseph; great grandchildren, Cole, Willow and Olive; nephew, John (Jan) Potera; niece Christine Dear; great niece, Kimberly Dear; as well as many other nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends.
