Obituary of Sally M. Pacuta

Sally M. Pacuta, 95, of Newtown, PA, formerly of East Windsor, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 25, 2023 at Chandler Hall Hospice in Newtown, PA.

 

Born in The Bronx, New York, Mrs. Pacuta was raised on family farms in Perrineville and Cranbury, before marrying and settling in Bordentown.  She lived in East Windsor for many years before moving to Pennsylvania.

 

Mrs. Pacuta worked in the Foreign Patents Office of RCA and General Electric for many years. She made many dear lifelong friends there. Her life’s focus was her family, whom she loved deeply and assiduously. Hosting parties and family events was her forte. Mrs. Pacuta loved entertaining family, friends, and neighbors for any and all occasions. Her Christmas cookies were legendary with multiple generations. She was proud of her Italian heritage and enjoyed trips to Italy. She also traveled throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, and Israel. She loved the arts, theater, and music in all its forms from opera and classical to standards, rock ‘n’ roll, pop, and world music.

 

Devoted to her family, Mrs. Pacuta will be fondly remembered for her loving and generous spirit, her unconditional acceptance of others, and her quiet strength.
