Rita Pavlick (nee Oleski), 86, passed away Tuesday, September 16, 2014.
She was the devoted wife for 47 years to the recently deceased Joseph and previously married to the late Thomas Barrett.
For 32 years Rita was a weekly volunteer at Willowood Care Center and also was an active member of the Isabella Guild of the Knights of Columbus at St. Ambrose Church. Not only was Rita a humorous and giving person, she was multi-talented. With her brother, Ted accompanying her, she even impersonated Carmen Miranda in full costume at various venues for many years.
She was the mother of two deceased infants, Joseph and Mary; her cherished parents were Thomas and Anna Oleski (Knapik) and in-laws, John and Mary Pavlick; deceased siblings include Chester, Theodore and Genevieve Kapuscinski-Shaginaw.
She was a very special cousin and aunt to many and will be greatly missed by family and longtime friends.
Deep gratitude is extended to Dave Gonsior for his compassion and assistance to the Pavlicks during their later years.
