Pauline Trpcic Obituary
Paula was the beloved wife of the late Michael Trpcic. Together they built a family that became her greatest joy and legacy.

Her role as grandmother brought her immense pride and happiness.

AUNT PAUL, I have known you all my life, you were my favorite Aunt. I always knew if you were around, I was safe because you told my parents to leave your Anthony alone. You were always very kind and i could always feel the love you had for me. Most of my young life you, Uncle Mike, Nina, Anna, and my brother Ralphie were always together. No matter where we went with my parents. I have so many memories of you there is not enough room to write them all. So just a few to make us laugh. Like the 1 ring was you and 2 rings was Aunt Marie, you would call every day to talk to my mom and then when us kids would go to a wedding or reunion, we had to ask each other who you and my mom was mad at, so we knew who we were allowed to talk to, LOL my life was so happy because of you ! I will always love you!!!! till we meet again. LOVE YOU, ANTHONY
