Pauline Salerno

Pauline Salerno, 99, went to be with her Lord on February 19, 2021. Born July 31, 1921, in Walton, New York. Pauline is survived by her son, Jeffry (Cris) Salerno; her grandchildren, Nicolas Salerno, Anthony (Tiffaney) Salerno, Joshua (Amanda) Salerno, all of whom were her pride and joy; five great-grandchildren, Dominic, Luke, Cooper, Jenni and Taylor; and sister-in-law, Donna Salerno. Preceded in death by her parents, Harry A. and Flora Wilbur; loving husband, Albert Salerno; son, Randall Salerno; and brother, Harry J Wilbur.
Pauline and Albert lived a wonderful life in Walnut Creek, California, for 47 years. They had a passion for golf, cherished their friendships and traveled the entire world together – visiting five continents and countless countries, before retiring to Goodyear, Arizona. Pauline later moved to Pueblo to be closer to her son, and grandkids after Al’s passing. She loved to play bridge and other card games with her friends. She also did various crafts including tatting and needlepoint. After the death of her son, Randy, Pauline learned how to read and write in braille. She loved her family, especially the time they were able to spend together. She was very proud of her family in New York, Sheila, Harry John, and Kathleen. Pauline wrote a book on the Family Heritage of the Wilbur and Salerno families that will be cherished by all her Grandchildren, Nieces and Nephews.
Special Thanks to Abode Hospice for their loving and wonderful care during the last few weeks of her life.
Graveside services will be held at Oakmont Memorial Park in Lafayette, California, at a later date.
