Pauline (Manuilow) Matoszkia “Nan”, at the age of 96, very peacefully and quietly left this earth at the Shadyside Care Center on Saturday, May 27, 2017, to reunite with her husband, Bill, who has been waiting for her since 1979.
Prior to March of this year, she had been living with her youngest son, Jim, and his wife, Kathy, in Grove City, Ohio, who had been caring for her during her years of need.
Pauline was the daughter of the late Andy and Harpina (Stephanovich) Manuilow who immigrated to America from Kiev, Russia. From Ellis Island, they made their way to McKeesrock, PA, to Moundsville, WV; and finally to Dilles Bottom, OH, where they lived on a riverboat on the Ohio River for many years.
Pauline lived her entire life in Dilles Bottom and may have been the oldest survivor.
In addition to her parents and her husband, Pauline was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Edward V. Miller; her sister Mary; and her brothers Pete, Andy and Alexander.
Surviving are her four children: Joseph W. (Sherril) Matoszkia of Shadyside, OH; Patricia J. Miller of Columbus, OH; Brenda J. (Alan) Duvall of Wheeling, WV; and James V. (Kathy) Matoszkia of Grove City, OH; five grand-children; 12 great-grand children; her brother John Manuilow of Brooklyn, CT; her sister-in-law, Garda Manuilow of Ft. Wayne, IN and many nieces and nephews.
During her lifetime, Pauline enjoyed many things. She was a coal miner’s wife; she gardened, canned and was an excellent cook. She worked at the Dilles Bottom Restaurant and the Shadyside Dairy Queen.
For many years she belonged to a bunco club and later she enjoyed playing bingo. But her favorite past-time was being outdoors. She loved cutting her own grass and continued to cut until she reached the age of 90.
Another favorite of hers was sitting on her porch swings. She lived a long and happy life and she will be missed and remain in our hearts forever.

I have known Pauline "Nan" since I was 16 years old. First as my manager at the Shadyside Dairy Queen throughout my high school years, then as the mother of my life partner, her son Jim, and finally as my mother-in-law. She was a part of my life for the past 43 years and has left an impression that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Nan was one of the hardest working people I have ever met. Together, she and her husband Bill "Pap" were a dynamic team who raised 4 wonderful children and were an example to us all of what hard work and perseverance could produce. Nan was very proud of her family, not just her sons and daughters, but of her parents and siblings as well. She often spoke to me about how much she wished her parents had lived long enough so she could have helped her financially and helped them have a better life. Pauline was grateful for the blessings in her life, for the love of her life, Bill, her children and grandchildren. I am grateful for the blessing both she and "Pap" brought to my life and will cherish memories of them for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Nan and Pap now that you are together again. You will be missed by all who loved you and we will always try to make you proud. With love,
