Patricia L. Pollino

1952 - 2025

Patricia 'Patti' Louise Pollino, 73, of West Deer Township, loving wife, devoted mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 27, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on March 23, 1952, in Springdale, PA, daughter of the late Joseph Sr. and Lois (Lydic) Welteroth. She attended Springdale High School, where she was a majorette and made lifelong friendships. Patti and her beloved husband of 53 years, Anthony 'Al,' planted their family roots in West Deer Township in 1978, with their two daughters, Heather and Trasi. Her tranquil backyard became the centerpiece for her family and friends to gather for years for every type of party you could think of, including Easter egg hunts, Halloween parties, a Hawaiian luau, and other milestone celebrations for family. She would just have the big old backyard BBQ so family and friends could gather for hours of laughs and memories. Her eclectic home is where she would showcase her skills in crazy crafting and home revamping projects. It is also the place she would transform at Christmas time for everyone she knew to 'believe' in a little bit of 'magic.' She enjoyed spending time with her family most. Whether it was Saturday afternoon flea marketing with her oldest daughter, Heather, or traveling to North Carolina for extended visits with her youngest daughter, Trasi, she loved days devoted to her girls. She loved keeping herself busy with life's simple pleasures. She was a caretaker for those in need of emotional and physical support. Known for her gentle spirit and quiet strength, Patti leaves behind a legacy of kindness and compassion. She was passionate about helping others and gave selflessly to her community and beyond. Patti belonged to the Bull Creek Women's Missionary for many years, where she helped to prepare and serve dinners and actively participated in all fundraisers and functions. She was also a member of the Fawn Sewing Guild, a charity sewing group, where she sewed and stuffed more than 45 small bears to be distributed to children in hospitals. Patti enjoyed participating in all the group's projects, including sewing items for local nursing homes and making Christmas stockings for military service members overseas. Patti is survived by her husband, Anthony 'Al' Pollino; two daughters, Heather (James) Calderone of Russellton, PA, and Trasi Pollino of Knightdale, NC; and her sisters, Peggy (Ernie) Baxter, Vivian Doyle, and Lois Jean (Byron) Vrabel. She was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Welteroth Sr.; and mother, Lois (Lydic) Welteroth. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her three brothers, Larry, Terry, and Eric Welteroth. At Patti's request, no funeral services will be held. A Celebration of Life will take place at a future date. Funeral arrangements are under the care of the ROBERT PETERS FUNERAL HOME INC., 1521 Freeport Road, Natrona Heights, PA 15065, (724-224-7730).
