Obituary of Pauline Zuniga

Pauline Zuniga, age 99, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. Pauline was the 2^nd daughter of Eulalia and Francisco Paramo, born on April 10, 1924 in the Saginaw area, Michigan.

Raised in Saginaw, Michigan, Pauline attended St. Joseph Parish and School on N 6^th avenue and became a beautician.  She married John Zuniga from Dallas, Texas who died just over 1 year ago in Dearborn, Michigan.  They settled in the Detroit, Michigan area but moved about the Northeast, South and Midwest United States until settling in Rochester Hills, Michigan where they retired.  Pauline only recently had moved to Seattle, Washington from Michigan.

Pauline enjoyed family and being with family wherever and whenever.  Her greatest assets were her engaging personality, quick wit and empathetic soul.  The Magnet, published by the senior class of St. Joseph School in June 1944, described Pauline: “The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct and the hand to execute”. Everyone loved Pauline wherever she went.  She is survived by her two sons, John R. and Marcos of Dallas, Texas and Seattle, Washington respectively.  Together Pauline and John had Six Grandchildren and Seven Great Grandchildren.
