Mary Ann Paulinski, 78, of South Bend, died Tuesday in her home surrounded by her loving children following a brief illness. The former Mary Pietrzak was born March 22, 1922, in Titusville, PA, and shortly thereafter moved with her family to the South Bend area where she remained a lifelong resident. She retired from the Associates Corporation of North America in 1993, after 25 years of service.

She is survived by her daughter Linda and son-in-law, Dennis Malinowski of Madison, WI; her daughter Christine and son-in-law, John Brock of Auburn, MI; her son Arthur and daughter-in-law, Nancy Paulinski of Quartz Hill, CA; her son Jay and daughter-in-law, Karin Paulinski of Aurora, IL; and her daughter Nancy and son-in-law, Jeff Golay of Mooresville, IN. She was always a loving grandmother to her twelve grandchildren and one great-grandson. Also surviving is a loving friend and sister-in-law, Louise Paulinski of Phoenix, AZ, and several special nieces and nephews.

Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to Dr. Karen Ng, for her compassionate care and support.

At her request, cremation has taken place and a chapel service will be held at St. Joseph Cemetery on Friday, Feb. 2, 2001, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of St. Joseph County, 111 Sunnybrook Court, South Bend, IN 46637; or to the charity of the donor's choice.
