Agnes May Paulick

May 10, 1925 - July 2, 2019

Agnes May Paulick of West Palm Beach, Fla., died on July 2, 2019, at the age of 94 following a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. She was at the home of her daughter, Lisa Paulick, who in recent years had taken on the role of caregiver. In the days leading to her passing, Agnes was surrounded by family members from throughout the United States. Born and raised in Belvidere, Ill., on May 10, 1925, Agnes was one of seven children to Earl Weiner, a Wisconsin-born son of German immigrants, and Scottish immigrant Mary (Cameron) Weiner. Upon graduation from high school, Agnes found employment with the Barber-Colman Company in Rockford, Ill., where in 1944 she met co-worker Algird Anton Paulick, a son of Lithuanian immigrants. The two were married three years later, a union that lasted 63 years. Living first in Rockford and later on a 35-acre farm near the village of Roscoe, Ill., the couple had three children: Dr. Steve Paulick of Arroyo Grande, Calif., Ray Paulick of Lexington, Ky., and Lisa Paulick of Boynton Beach, Fla. Al and Agnes Paulick would later move to Lake Clarke Shores, Fla., Seattle and Arlington, Wash., and ultimately West Palm Beach, Fla., where they would spend their remaining years. Al Paulick died in 2010. Agnes was a music lover who played piano and organ, reveling family members with an impromptu concert as recently as late April, just before her 94th birthday. She was a custom cake decorator, skilled at sewing, needlepoint and other arts and crafts, a longtime baseball fan of the Chicago Cubs and later the Florida Marlins, and an outstanding cook whose Kugelis (a Lithuanian dish) and zucchini bread recipes have been passed down to subsequent generations. In addition to her three children, Agnes Paulick is survived by a sister, Marilynn Burns of Washington state and a brother, Robert Weiner, of Ohio. She was preceded in death by a sister, Sarah Millar, and brothers Burton Weiner, Earl Weiner and David Weiner. Agnes Paulick doted on her nine grandchildren (Jason Howell, Michelle (Randy) Phillips, Joseph (Jenny) Panettiere, JoAnne Motter, Zachary (Leah) Lee-Paulick, Jason (Haley) Lee-Paulick, Emma (Matthew) Fritzen, Scott Paulick and Margaret Paulick) and 11 great-grandchildren. Scobee-Combs-Bowden Funeral Home of Boynton Beach, Fla., is handling arrangements. There are no services or visitation. In lieu of flowers, the family of Agnes Paulick has suggested donations to the March of Dimes because of her love of children and the work the organization does for those born prematurely or with disabilities and health challenges.
