Margaret A. Zelinsky 1950-2025

A lifelong resident of the Warren-Niles area, Marti was born Jan. 25, 1950, in Warren, the daughter of Kenneth and Helen Politsky James.

She was a 1968 graduate of Howland High School, then dedicated her professional life to caring for others as an X-ray technician at St. Joseph Warren Hospital, where she worked with compassion and skill until her retirement in 2013.

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, reading, watching Hallmark movies, answering trivia questions, buying lottery tickets and indulging in her love for the world of Harry Potter. But above all, Marti cherished time spent with her family, especially her granddaughters and great-grandson, who were the light of her life.

Marti married the love of her life, David Joseph Zelinsky, on May 1, 1969; they shared 45 beautiful years together before David’s passing in 2014.

She is survived by her children: her son, Christopher Zelinsky and his wife, Marla LaCerva; and daughter, Angela Loveless and her husband, Dennis; granddaughters, Hailey Zelinsky and Hannah Loveless; and her great-grandson, Ty Loveless.

Marti will be remembered for her warmth, generosity and kind heart. She brought comfort and joy to everyone who knew her, and her loving presence will be deeply missed.

A private memorial service will be held with her immediate family.

Arrangements are being handled by the Joseph Rossi and Sons Funeral Home, Niles.
