Family Years

How Elizabeth came to meet his future husband Paul John Timko an only be a matter for speculation. It is known that the Slovak miners lived in very close-knit communities where everyone knew everyone else. Perhaps they met during a church social or through mutual friends or simply as neighbors. No matter, the county records show they were married on February 16, 1935 in Dixonville, Indiana County, PA.

Never the next seventeen years, the young couple would have four children: two boys - Paul Steve and Thomas Richard Timko, and two girls - Dorothy Alice and Elizabeth Delores. Susanna would only live a few days before passing away.

The four children of Paul and Betty are as follows;

• Dorothy Alice Timko
• Paul Steve Timko
• Elizabeth Delores Timko
• Thomas Richard Timko

Working Years

She was a homemaker for 56 years.

Personal Life

In 1985 a tornado spared the lives of both Elizabeth and Paul. Elizabeth had stopped at a red light by Niles City Cemetery. Elizabeth was going to the convenient store to play her numbers (she loved to play those numbers everyday) when she looked down for a second and then looked back up and the store was gone. A tornado leveled it. Elizabeth had some cuts and bruises but otherwise she was okay. Paul was at home sitting in his garage with the door open and the tornado was behind their house. He had a paper route (delivering the ads to houses) and was putting the ads in the plastic bags. He looks up and sees Elizabeth and asks what happened to her and where was the car? He did not even know a tornado had happened. He was so worried about their car being left back there that he walked to the car (and at their age it was quite a walk) and drove it home driving over anything that was in his way. Later, when asked about the incident, he said he saw stuff flying by but just thought it was windy out.

Elizabeth died from sepsis on December 18, 2002 at St John XXIII Nursing Home in Farrell, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

She was buried on December 21, 2002 at All Souls Cemetery in Cortland, Trumbull County, Ohio. All Souls Cemetery is located on Hoagland-Blackstub Road, 1 mile north of SR 305 in Cortland, Ohio., Trumbull County, Ohio. This cemetery is approximately 7-8 miles north of Warren, Ohio.
