Kelly Pawloski passed away at age 57 surrounded by her loving family on November 9th. Kelly was raised in New Kensington and resided around that area before moving to her home in Tarentum. She loved being a mother and spending time with her family and friends. She was married to her loving husband, Stan for over 29 wonderful years. Earlier in life allowed her creativity to come to life with her enjoyment of cross stitch and ceramics. Kelly liked going to different concerts, musicals, and sporting events. One of her biggest passions was sports and the bond that it formed every week with her family. The Steelers were always number one but her emotional investment into them and the Penguins and Penn State were unmatched. Kelly was very superstitious about how she watched football games. Her love for adventure and travel was one of her favorite things to do. Various trips across the world to Hawaii, Aruba, and cruising to different locations allowed her to enjoy some once in a lifetime trips. The beach was a peaceful place that allowed her to relax and hear the waves crash against the shoreline and see the beautiful sunsets. You cannot mention her without talking about her love for her dogs throughout her life. She loved spending time with her faithful dog Minnie. Kelly was a strong Irish lady and fought for all of her accomplishments. She was always available to help others whenever they needed it. Her selflessness to put others first was one of the most admirable values that she carried. Her great cooking and holiday gatherings allowed for great memories for her and the family. She was a religious person that was a member of the Catholic faith. Kelly is preceded in death by her loving mother Marian O’Neil. She is survived by her loving husband Stan, and her loving children Steven, Ryan, and Erin. She is also survived by her brothers, Dennis O’Neil and Kevin O’Neil as well as her nephew Daniel O’Neil, and the rest of her extensive family that she loved dearly.
