CHICAGO, IL - Pauline Zancanaro (nee Gregoline), beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2020, surrounded by family in the comfort of her home. Born in West Virginia and raised in Chicago, she was the daughter of the late Marietta and Eugenio Gregoline.

Pauline was admired for her sense of humor, love of life, caring spirit, and delicious Italian cooking.
Being an avid reader and movie lover Pauline enjoyed discussing everything from politics to entertainment. She was always happiest when spending time surrounded by family. Pauline will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Rest in Peace. May her memory be eternal.
A celebration of Pauline's life for family and friends will take place at a later date.
