Paulina Ciocazan was born on the 1st of November
in 1939 in a humble country home, outside of
Romania’s capital city, Bucharest. She was the
youngest of five children born to a World War I
disabled veteran and his industrious wife, whose
only sustenance was whatever they raised and
harvested on their land. From a young age,
Paulina loved hard work, honesty, and truth, and
lived by the golden rule. She worked in a
textile factory, and due to her high work ethic
she became the most effective employee and
consistently produced work of the highest
quantity and quality.
Paulina married Nick Ciocazan in 1962, and later
she gave birth to two daughters, six years
apart, and dedicated her life to the highest
calling a woman can have. Her daughters enjoyed
a clean and organized home and the most
delicious healthy made-from-scratch meals and
baked goods. When her home was all tidied up at
the end of each day, she would crochet a table
cover or knit a sweater, as TV was never an
attraction to her.
Despite the various challenges in her life (some
of which were made more difficult by the rise of
Communism) she never complained, and her
meekness was an inspiration to others. Paulina
trusted God who filled her heart with peace and
joy. Through many trials, God opened the door
for Nick to come to the United States, and the
family of four was finally reunited in 1989.
Paulina and her family found more than just
physical freedom, but were able to finally read
the world’s Best Seller that showed them the
path to spiritual freedom, from the bondage of
sin and salvation through our Redeemer, Jesus
Christ. Paulina will be remembered for her quiet
and gentle, yet strong spirit, but most
importantly for her great wisdom and connection
with God. She had no theology degree, but was
the most effective theologian. She was no
architect, but designed the most solid
characters. She was no civil engineer, but she
was the greatest home engineer.
Paulina is survived by her husband Nick,
daughters Elena and Magda, son-in-law Viorel and
four grandchildren (Nathan, Michael, Christopher
and Sebastian). Along with friends, they look
forward to the soon return of Jesus when the
family is reunited.
