Obituary of Pasqualina Rose Pino

Pasqualina Rose Pino, 77, of Toms River passed away at AristaCare at Manchester on Monday, December 2, 2024.  She was born and raised on Garside Street in Newark and had lived in Belleville, Howell, Florida and Freehold before settling in Toms River 12 years ago. Pasqualina worked for the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Defense in the section that made parts for Black Hawk Helicopters, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. After retirement, she continued working at CentraState Medical Center for 15 years as the Lead Supervisor for the Admitting Department. Pasqualina met her husband, Sante, in a chance encounter on 6th Avenue and Garside Street, where he was selling hot dogs off his scooter in the 70s. Their love story was one for the ages. In her free time, she enjoyed visiting Monmouth Park Racetrack and Atlantic City, playing the quarter slots and lucky 7's as well as listening to The Four Seasons band. She will be remembered for her love of playing Bingo and her passion for decorating for the holidays. Pasqualina had a generous spirit and was always willing to help those in need, whether it was through donations or feeding the neighborhood squirrels.
