Obituaries Elsie Pollino (Hack)
Elsie Pollino, of Chalfont, died peacefully Monday, Feb. 19, 2018 in Willows Hospice Care at Pine Run Health Center, surrounded by her family. She was 79 years old.
After a 6-year battle, she has now found peace and been reunited with her late husband, John Pollino.
Born in Philadelphia, PA, Elsie was the daughter of the late Frederick Joseph Hack and Elsie Bullock Hack. Elsie worked for GMAC in Philadelphia for over 37 years. After retiring, she worked for several retail stores. As each went out of business, she became know as “Elsie the Ax”. She laughed about being unemployed; but with each defunct business came new friends. She later volunteered in the gift shop at Doylestown Hospital, which gave her immense pleasure. Elsie was truly a force of nature with her quick wit and even quicker tongue. However, she had a heart of gold and would move heaven and earth for those she loved. She left an indelible mark on those who know her.
She will be sadly missed by her daughter, Barbara Pollino (Arran MacKinnon), her brother, Frederick Hack (Eleanor), her nieces, Tracey Hack and Christine Hack, great granddaughter, Hannah Elizabeth, cousin, John Donaghy (Edna) and many other special extended family members. Elsie was privileged to have the love and support of many friends who were always there for her and made her final months a bit easier.
