It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Pauline Rose Amico, a beloved member of the Lancaster community and a devoted nurse, who passed away on March 8, 2024, at the age of 96. She was born on May 11, 1927, in Lancaster, PA to Charles and Rose Steinbaecher. Pauline will be remembered fondly for her compassionate nature, dedication to her patients, and her love for her family.

Pauline was a lifelong Catholic, finding comfort in her faith and actively participating in the community through her involvement in Guys and Dolls and the Women's Auxiliary at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church. A proud alumna of Lancaster Catholic High School, class of 1945, she went on to graduate from St. Joseph's School of Nursing in 1948, where she was a member of the last class of cadet nurses. Pauline dedicated over 30 years of her life to St. Joseph's Hospital, serving as a nurse until her retirement in 1992.

Throughout her life, Pauline found joy in the simple pleasures, such as her fondness for raccoons and black cats, reflecting her warm and nurturing spirit. She cherished time spent with her family, including regular visits to Riverside Campground in Maryland with her husband. Pauline's memory will continue to live on in the hearts of her surviving sons, Thomas Amico, husband of Cheryl of Holtwood, and David Amico, husband of Roxanne of Bradenton, FL, grandchildren Janice Moore (Eric), Lori Schmidt (Trey), Stephen Amico, Jennifer Burger (Chris), and Melissa Amico, and great grandchildren, Caleb, Colton, Drew, Eliannah, Asher, Logan, and Riley. She was preceded in passing by her beloved husband of over 60 years, Thomas J. Amico, her sister Sandra Kueny, and a great granddaughter Paige Moore.
