June 6, 2010 By Tom Zumwalt
On May 29, 2010 my wife's aunt passed away. My wife always talked very fondly of her aunt saying things like "she was more of a mother to me then my real mother". Over the past 20 years we have went to the Philadelphia area mainly to visit my wife's aunts, Sarah and Rose Rita. I got to know and love Sarah also over the past 20 years of visits and phone conversations. The obituary below real says it all. May she rest in peace with her love Walt! My condolences to the family. |

Sarah E. Soboloski of New Hope died Saturday, May 29, 2010, at her home. She was 86.
Known to one and all as "Grannie," Mrs. Soboloski was born and raised in Philadelphia. She lived in Doylestown before moving to New Hope two years ago.
She was the devoted wife of the late Walter C. Soboloski.
Sarah kept the memory of "her love" Walt close to her heart. A wonderful marriage that she wove into a blanket of love for all of us around her. A love she gave freely and generously to her family, friends and strangers. With her wonderful sense of humor, her beautiful eyes alight with love, she drew people to her and they left feeling better for the encounter and loving her for it. A wonderful story teller, we will have her warm loving memories to keep forever. Grannie, you are our sunshine forever.
Her survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Sara S. and Raymond Altieri of New Hope; her son, Walter Soboloski of Philadelphia; her grandchildren, Lauren Claffey of Doylestown, Joseph Claffey of New Hope, Raymond Altieri Jr. of Ewing, N.J., and Matthew Altieri of Hoboken, N.J.; her sisters, Annamarie Paster and Rose Rita McCormack of Philadelphia; and her brother, John McCormack of West Chester, Pa. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Bernard and Joseph McCormack; and her sisters, Margaret Sasko and Marie Simpson.
The memorial Mass will be offered at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 5, at St. Martin of Tours Church, 1 Riverstone Circle, New Hope, PA 18938, where visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until the start of Mass.
