Paulette “Pauli” Stefanik, nee Bianchi
Beloved wife of Thomas F. Stefanik of 53 years; Devoted mother of Michael (Catherine) Stefanik, Nicole (Roger) Leegard and Matthew (Missy) Stefanik; Loving daughter of the late Paul and Grace Bianchi; Dear sister of Jeff (Stacey) and Claude (Liz) Bianchi; Dear grandmother “Grandma Shawty” of Megan, Nicklas, Emma, Audrey, Corinne, Emma and Ethan; Dear aunt and Dear friend of many; Dearest friend of Debbie Parker, Terry McNerny, Janet Leo, the late Diane Paulsen and the late Marilyn Mulhall, who are known as “The Girls.” Pauli loved working in her garden and pampering her house plants with the greenest thumb around. She loved spending time with her family, especially during game night, also known as “Fam Jams.” You couldn’t get Pauli off the dance floor, especially if her brother’s band, “Danny and the Twisters” was playing. She loved trying new recipes, but her rice crispy treats and popcorn balls were THE BEST and a long standing Fall family tradition. To know her was to love her and boy was she loved by all!

Our Pauli Girl. We met our sweet darling at a diner in Geneva with her beautiful daughter Nikki. She called us Romeo and Juliet. By surprise, we moved next door to her and Tom. It was the best 13 years of our lives. Pauli was the most kind, empathetic and cheery person we ever knew. We have SO many good memories; New Year’s eve parties, Halloween Parties, so many fun times twisting and shaking to her brother’s band. She always made us feel loved and as a family. Bill and I are better people because of our sweet Pauli Girl. Sweet Pauli, we will continue to twist for you, shake for you and laugh for you. We know you will still be joining us and feel your presence always until we see you again. And, we will!! We love you forever!!

Dear Stefanik Family, Debbie, Terri and Janet, I am so very sorry for you all who are having to say good-bye to your wife, Mama, Grandma, Sister and friend. Paulette was a sweet hardworking woman and sister in Christ Jesus. She was very supportive of me when I lost my son in 2021 even though dealing with an illness that she knew would take her home. I am so sad for you all, having to experience this loss, but so very happy for Paulette that she is at rest in Heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will be keeping you all in prayer and trust that the Lord will comfort you with a peace that only He can provide. My deepest condolences... "We are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8 RSV) Love in Christ Jesus, Margie C. and family.

Pauli was a part of my heart and I loved her, even for the short time I knew her. She is going to be deeply missed and I will be drinking Peach Snapple in honor of her. Love, Megan at the Silver Glen Front Desk

I was a friend of Paulette since the 3rd grade. While in 7th grade our group of friends was called the Magnificent 7. We both went to St Francis HS and there we met new friends. Despite not connecting with Paulette over the years I was always happy to see and talk with her at our reunions. Her laugh was contagious and sense of fun always present. I know she will be missed. Love you Paulette and I hope that God supports your family through this trying time.
