Jennie H. Pasqualichio

Jennie H. Pasqualichio, 82, of Niagara Falls, NY, died on Thursday December 20, 2007 at Mt. St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, NY after a brief illness. Born in Butler, PA, she was the daughter of the late Vincenzo and Grazia “Grace” (Giordano) Pasqualichio, and the step-daughter of the late Maria Pasqualichio.

After moving from Pennsylvania with her family, Jennie attended local Niagara Falls schools including Ferry Avenue, South Junior and Niagara Falls Senior High School, graduating in 1943. Following a brief career at Bell Aerospace during World War II, Jennie worked for the next thirty-nine years in various positions at E.I. DuPont de Nemours in Niagara Falls where she retired in 1985. Since retirement from DuPont, Jennie remained active and continued to work as a tax preparer for H &R Block. She was an avid quilter and her many quilts will be cherished by her family and friends. Jennie was also active with various reunion events for her high school graduating class and enjoyed several trips to her family's native Italy.
