Paulette J. "Polly" Stupka, 70, of Kittanning, died Tuesday, May 25, 2021, in ACMH Hospital.
Born October 24, 1950, in Kittanning, she was a daughter of the late Carl and Frances (Liperote) Stupka.
She was a graduate of Kittanning High School. An active resident at Premier Armstrong, she enjoyed participating in all the activities there, especially playing bingo.
Paulette "Polly" was a warm-hearted soul, always to be found with a smile on her face, and ready for one big bear hug. She was loved by all she met, and certainly by those who knew her most. She was a fun-loving Steeler fan and a great pen pal. Polly spent a good portion of her life in care homes, but left a beautiful imprint on many hearts.
She is survived by her daughter, Holly Gaskin of Kittanning; her sister, Joy (Harold) Fennell of Leechburg, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Carl Stupka.
