Publish in a newspaper

Geri Salanik, 60, of Perkasie, PA, peacefully passed away on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 after a courageous six-year battle against cancer. She was the beloved wife of John Salanik, with whom she shared 36 years of marriage.

Geri enjoyed reading, puzzles, board games, shopping, cooking and baking, and spending time at the beach. She was also devoted to her children's athletic teams and extracurricular activities. An active member of the St. Maria Goretti parish community, Geri served as a CYO board member and Eucharistic Minister, and was a Pre-Cana leader at St. John of the Cross.

Geri attended St. John of the Cross School and was a proud graduate of Bishop McDevitt High School, Class of 1983. She began her career at the former First Pennsylvania Bank and later served as the Assistant Business Manager at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church for 18 years.

She was the daughter of the late Arthur and Betty (Harland) Pagan. She is also preceded in death by her brother Robert Pagan.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by three daughters, Elaine of Philadelphia, PA, Dana of Perkasie, PA, and Keri of North Andover, MA; a brother, Arthur Pagan III of Clearwater, FL; and Jody Pagan of Sellersville, PA. She is the proud aunt of 19 nieces and nephews and the great aunt to many more.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, November 23, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Williams-Bergey-Koffel Funeral Home, Inc., 667 Harleysville Pike, Telford, PA 18969, and again on Monday, November 24, from 9:30 to 10:15 AM at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, 1601 Derstine Ave, Hatfield, PA 19440, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery, Roslyn, PA.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Geri's name to For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation, 620 W. Germantown Pike, Suite 150, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. www.takeabreakfromcancer.org
