Julie Sistik-Aulicino's Obituary
Julie Vasolik Sistik-Aulicino,100, went to be with Our Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 4, 2017. Born June 18, 1917 in Stupne, Czechoslovakia, Julie was the daughter of the late Andreas Vasolik of Czechoslovakia and Vendel and Anna Kozik Sistik of Monongahela. Following the death of Andreas, Julie and her mother left their homeland to join Vendel, owner of Sistik's Grocery Store in Frye Station, Monongahela. Julie attended Wylie School, worked at her father's store and helped raise seven siblings due to her mother's early death. Julie later worked in the dining room at West Penn Hospital and at several drug stores in the Pittsburgh area, where she once met the famous Lawrence Welk. In 1938, she married John Aulicino of Pittsburgh. A member of St. Damien of Molokai Parish, Julie was a passionate Catholic who loved Almighty God and the Blessed Mother. Julie was very proud of her Slovak heritage. She loved teaching her grandchildren Slovak songs, the language and sharing the recipe for her delicious Slovak pancakes which were enjoyed by many. Julie will always be remembered as a happy, smiling person who enjoyed listening to Polka music and tending to her many beautiful flowers. Julie was a very talented artist and story teller. She loved showing her photograph albums and being around her family and friends, particularly the many children at holiday gatherings.
Surviving is her daughter, Gloria Aulicino-Wineland (Dan) of Monongahela; son, John Roger Aulicino (Sharon) of Mentor, Ohio; sister, Wilma Brletic of Boston; sister-in-law, Jackie Sistik of Vero Beach, Florida; eight grandchildren, Dana Wineland O'Rourke (Tim), Terri Wineland, Dean Wineland (Riza), Ron Wineland, Michelle Aulicino-Massey, Roger Wineland (Stephanie), Debbie Aulicino-Parziale, Roger Aulicino (Tiffany); twelve great grandchildren, Tim O'Rourke (Kelli), Dan O'Rourke (Lauren), Krista and Sean Wineland, Cassie and Jacob Sheets, Megan, Michael and Mitchell Massey, Rhiannon Wineland, Samantha and Madison Aulicino; six great great grandchildren, Karli Sutton, Brady, Quinnlynn, Murphy, Kaden and Gianna O'Rourke; numerous nieces and nephews.
