Ann Pabian, 95, of Trenton, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at the Serenity Hospice Inpatient Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
Born, raised, and educated in Plymouth, PA, Ann brought her warmth and spirit to New Jersey after graduation, where she remained a proud and devoted resident for the rest of her life. She spent over 12 years working with the Hibbert Group before retiring in 2000.
Ann was a woman of unwavering faith, whose life was guided by love, service, and devotion to her church and community. A longtime and devoted parishioner of the former St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, she generously gave of her time and talents as a member of the Altar Rosary Society, a Bingo volunteer, and a dedicated Lector. Her commitment extended beyond worship, as she actively participated in church and school functions and even served as the school librarian for a time.
Following the parish merger, Ann embraced Holy Cross Church with the same grace and devotion, continuing to worship regularly and offering her steadfast support to her new church family. Her deep faith, kind heart, and enduring generosity touched all who knew her, and her legacy of service and love will long be remembered.

Pabian; and her brother, Edward Potera and his wife, Stella; she is survived by her three children, Joanne Pabian-Laslo and husband, Thomas Laslo, Paul Pabian and Thomas Pabian; grandchildren, Eric Laslo, Michael Laslo, Heather (Laslo) Hodnicki and husband Joseph; great grandchildren, Cole, Willow and Olive; nephew, John (Jan) Potera; niece Christine Dear; great niece, Kimberly Dear; as well as many other nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends.

I will remember Ann as a kind and joyful woman. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to Sister Loretta and Sister Karen. She walked the walk and was an inspiration to many when Holy Cross and St. Stan's merged. I'm sure Sister Loretta had her sneakers laced, ready to meet you at
the pearly gates. Rest in peace Ann.
Dear Joanne, my condolences on the passing of your Mother, may you remember all the beautiful times and memories. Sending hugs.

Ann was a beautiful, kind, selfless woman who had a giving personality! She and myMom Anna Wiechnik spent quality time together with lots of love for each other! I have fond memories of how happy my Mother was to see her when she had the opportunity!
