Wanda F. Paladino

Wanda F. Paladino, age 96, beloved wife of the late Anthony P. Paladino, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 15, 2017, at Waterbury Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Philadelphia, PA, on April 9, 1921, the daughter of Michael and Frances (Marinak) Blasiak. Wanda graduated in 1937 from The Jules E. Mastbaum Vocational High School in Philadelphia after having completed her course in Home Economics. She loved to crochet, play pinochle and Bingo, and watch golf on t.v. Her greatest pleasure was spending time with her family, who will miss her greatly. She leaves behind three caring sons: Edward (Mary) Sekula of Minnetonka, MN, Richard (Loretta) Sekula of Norristown, PA, and Anthony (Bonnie) Paladino of Royersford, PA. She resided for the past 21 years with her devoted daughter Francine (William) Molinelli in Beacon Falls, CT. Her twelve grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews also mourn her passing. Wanda was predeceased by her beloved first husband, PFC Edward Sekula, who was killed in the Battle of Okinawa while serving in the US Marine Corps during WWII. She was also predeceased by her brother, Joseph Blasiak, and sister, Rose Wisniewski. A graveside committal service will be held in the family plot at St. Patrick Cemetery, Norristown, PA, at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Wanda's memory to St. Jude Children Research Hospital through the Miller-Ward Funeral Home of Seymour, which is compassionately caring for the family.
