Pauline was born and raised in Perth Amboy.  She was one of four daughters of the late George and Barbara Lipecki.  She was a graduate of St Mary's High School in Perth Amboy.  Before marrying and starting a family she worked as a secretary for the Raritan Arsenal in Bonhamtown.

After she married, she and her husband John eventually settled in Fords.  She was a former member of St. Nicholas Greek Catholic Church in Fords, and was a parishioner of Our Lady of Peace Church in Fords.  Pauline was also a member of the Fords Seniors Group. One of Pauline's greatest loves was the time she shared with her neighbors and friends, but especially with her loving family.

In addition to her parents, Pauline was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John in 1998, and her three sisters Margaret Parnes, MaryAnn Pryga and Barbara Noble.

She is survived by her three children: John Velchik and wife Paula, Carole Winn and husband Louie, and Dr. Michael Velchik and wife Michele; grandchildren: Louis Winn, Carolyn Little and husband Stephen, Elizabeth Velchik, Michael Velchik, Alison Makepeace and husband Conor, Cheryl Polo and John Payne.
