Coline M. Wenz passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at the age of 97 in Baden, Pennsylvania.
Coline was born in Birmingham, England and was a resident of Staten Island, New York for over 50 years until she moved to Pennsylvania in 2019. Coline was very involved in her community. She volunteered for over 17 years at the old St. Vincent’s Medical Center, as well as numerous senior organizations. She was also an active member in her church for many years at Christ United Methodist.
Coline was a homemaker and enjoyed knitting, crafting, baking and sewing but her true enjoyment was spending time with her family.
She is survived by her beloved children, Kevin Harisiades and Pamela Giovinazzo (son-in-law, Jerry), her loving brother, Dennis Noake and 4 wonderful grandchildren, Karen (Dan), Jaime (Pat), Greg (Peg) and Kim, 8 great-grandchildren, Nick, David, Peter, Rebecca, Alyssa, Dominic, Andrew, and Brendan as well as many nieces and nephews.

So sorry for your loss, Pam and Jerry. I hope you find comfort in the knowledge that you made her last years as happy as possible with your love, patience, and care.
Carlen Blackstone says
I am so glad we were able to enjoy Coline’s presence with us as long as we could have. I know that last year has been challenging, especially for Pam. I was happy to have gone to church with her the previous 2 years at Dutilh and will remember her fondly. I hope all arrangements have gone well and that you were able to share good memories with other family and friends. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” and “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” can surely be said of her faithful service to her Lord and I know she knew where she was going so she has eternal joy and peace. For us, we will miss her and I’m sure you will even more so carry on.
