Jill M. Senick

Jill M. Senick, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2026, at the age of 78 at St. Luke's Anderson Campus. Jill will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, her generous spirit, and her ability to make every gathering feel like home. Born on April 19, 1948, in Allentown, PA, she was the daughter of the late Forrest and Dorothy (Heimbach) Wieser.

A longtime resident of Bethlehem, PA, Jill worked as a bank teller for many years at ESSA Bank, formerly First Star Bank, where she enjoyed building relationships with customers and colleagues alike. Outside of work, she was a faithful member of Sacred Heart Church, finding strength, purpose, and community through her faith.

Family was the cornerstone of Jill's life. She took immense pride in being a loving wife to her husband, Paul Senick, Sr., whom she married on September 22, 1973, and a devoted mother to her children, Brad, Pauly, and Sabrina. Jill was the kind of mother who was always present, whether volunteering through the PTA, supporting her children's involvement in Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, or cheering them on in their many activities and sports. She believed deeply in creating meaningful experiences and cherished family traditions. Some of her children's most treasured memories were made on family camping trips filled with adventure, laughter, and togetherness. Jill embraced opportunities to make childhood special, from enthusiastically dressing up for Halloween to turning ordinary days into lasting memories. Through her endless love, guidance, and encouragement, she created a home filled with warmth, security, and joy.

As her family grew, Jill found one of her greatest joys in being a grandmother. Nothing made her happier than attending her grandchildren's sporting events, celebrating their accomplishments, and sharing in the everyday moments of their lives. Mia, Finn, Gavin, and Rowen held a special place in her heart, and she cherished every opportunity to spend time with them. Whether cheering from the sidelines, celebrating milestones, or simply enjoying their company, Jill was their biggest supporter and proudest fan. She showered her grandchildren with unconditional love, encouragement, and pride, leaving them with memories they will carry forever.

Jill was a devoted Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles fan; she celebrated every victory and remained loyal through every season. Go Phillies and Go Birds!

Jill will be dearly missed by her husband, Paul M. Senick, Sr; son, Brad E. (Catherine) Senick; daughter, Sabrina A. (Eric Hauff) Senick; grandchildren, Mia Senick, Finn Moore, Gavin Senick, and Rowen Senick; sister, Sandra Muehlig and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Jill was preceded in death by her beloved son, Paul "Pauly" Senick II, and her brother, Forrest A. Wieser.
