JEAN PAGLIA

Jean Antoinette Paglia

was born in Elkhart, Indiana on January 9,

1935 to parents Mathew and Madeline

Colagrossi. She passed away at age

87, peacefully on Sunday, September 4,

2022 surrounded by her loving family. Married to Raymond D. Paglia for 25 years, she was the mother of four children: Linda, Raymond Jr., Michael, and Vincent. She is survived by her three sons and her grandchildren: Anthony, Alexa, Michael Jr., Mathew, Vincent Jr., and Siena. Jean was lucky enough to be here for the birth of four great grandchildren and will be dearly missed by her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless others. Jean was a remarkable cook who enjoyed preparing meals for family, friends, and just about anyone with an appetite, especially during the holidays...no one ever left hungry. Her heart was made of gold…she was constantly concerned about others, sincerely worried about everyone, always there to lend an ear, solve a problem, or help in a pinch. She was extremely generous to her many friends and family throughout her life. Happiness for her was giving to others. Sadly, even the brightest stars in the sky eventually burn out and it was her time to say goodbye. Jean, you will be missed by so many, but never forgotten.
