Petronila 'Pet' Darang Paulino, age 75, of Passaic, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 9:19 p.m., with the comfort of family by her side.
Petronila was born to Jose and Pelagia Darang and graduated from Jones Rural School in Jones, Isabela, Philippines, where she was a member of the cheerleading team. She continued her education at Arellano University in Manila, Philippines, earning a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics.
A retired healthcare professional, Petronila worked alongside her husband to care for others with warmth and kindness. She touched the lives of her patients and coworkers with her gentle spirit and ready smile. Petronila’s compassion will be deeply missed, but her memory lives on in all who knew her.
She was warmhearted, caring, and devoted to her family, always willing to be of service. An amazing cook and master of fried lemon chicken, Petronila loved spending time with her grandchildren. Known for her sense of humor, she was the heart and soul of every family gathering. She visited her children and grandchildren every week, always ready to help in any way she could.
Petronila is survived by her beloved husband, Freshly; her four children—Donna, Freshly Jr., Fritzie, and Glenda; her ten grandchildren: Ivana, Kurt, Joshua, Brianna, Trixie, Iana, Jordan, Jared, Aubrey, and Xia; and her adopted daughter and grandson: Madeline and Mitchell.
