Madeline Robalik (nee Michelina Solimando), the third and youngest daughter of Italian immigrants Michele (Mih-KAY-leh) and Isabella Solimando (both from Spinoso, Potenza, Italy), sister of Antoinette Solimando Abatto (nee Mariantonia) and Rose Solimando Roberts (nee Maria Rosina), former first wife of Stephen J. Robalik, mother of Geraldine Robalik, and aunt of Bernard Abatto, Geraldine Abatto Tomko, Michael Abatto, Doris Abatto Goulding, JoAnn Roberts Ciborowski, Kathleen Roberts Corzine, James Roberts and Michele Roberts Coleman.
Madeline was originally named Michelina (Mih-keh-LEE-nah), after her father. Due to a clerical error, a Trenton, New Jersey public school Americanized her name to Madeline, although it should have been Michelle or Micheline. The name Madeline stuck throughout her life. Rather than trying to trace decades of incorrect records, as an adult, Michelina finally changed her name legally to Madeline. As a child, she was nicknamed Mickey; and, later in life, was called Maggie (by friends) and Aunt Maggie (by her nieces and nephews).
For a short time, Madeline was married to World War II Veteran Stephen J. Robalik (b. 1922, Trenton, New Jersey; d. 1978, Gainsville, Florida). An alcoholic, he abandoned her and their child, and Madeline filed for divorce. It was her only marriage.
Cause of Death: Complications following a severe stroke.
Oddly enough, in 1994, while Madeline was being treated at San Pedro Peninsula Hospital following her initial stroke, Author/Poet Charles Bukowski lay dying in the room next to hers. They now rest in the same cemetery.
Also, by sheer coincidence, Madeline is entombed catercorner from her long-time and later estranged friend, Antoinette Curcione (1918-1993, Pacifica North Court 169-D). "Nettie" and "Maggie" now rest nearly identical to how their desks were placed when they worked together for many years in the offices of the J. C. Penney Company, Westchester, California. Apparently, they were destined to get back together.
