Katie Paveglio, formerly of Des Moines, passed peacefully March 24, 2010 in Libertyville, Illinois, where a memorial was held on March 28.
Katie was born November 15, 1914 in a mining camp in rural Monroe County, the daughter of Milan and Ika Sulentic, Croatian immigrants who mined and farmed the land. She was a good person who worked hard all her life, enjoying the good times while persevering through the bad. She loved music and dancing, from her early teens to her final days.
Katie was the last of five children, preceded in death by brothers, Tony and Tommy Sulentic; sisters, Mary White and Anne Scieszinski; and husband, Don Paveglio.
She is survived by her son, Ron and his wife Sarah; her grandchildren, Josh and Katie; and many nieces and nephews.
Ever spiritual, Katie contemplated the afterlife and wondered what would happen to her soul upon death. If she were able, she would now tell us that it goes to heaven. We will miss her.
