Pauline Rudi

Pauline Rudi, 102, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, peacefully passed away on Monday, October 5, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 31, 1924, in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late James and Antonette Borzi. Pauline was a treasured sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

A homemaker in every sense of the word, Pauline's home was filled with the aroma of home-cooked meals and the sound of laughter. Her home was always filled with family, a testament to the patience, kindness, and love she shared with everyone around her. Her family often joked that she must have rolled 500,000 meatballs in her lifetime. Everyone who entered her home felt welcome, loved, and cherished. She was a woman who valued family above all else.

In addition to her parents, Pauline was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Carl C. Rudi, with whom she shared more than 50 years of marriage; and a brother, Salvatore "Sam" Borzi.

She is survived by her children, Carleen McKee; Linda (Brad) Buettin; Louis (Becky) Rudi; Bob (Bonnie) Rudi; and Christopher (Jami) Rudi; as well as ten grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren; and sister, Rosemarie Chieze.
