Dominica “Nini” Tamburlin, 94, of 120 Hickory Street, Kersey and formerly of 168 Cherry Road, Kersey, passed away Friday, May 19, 2023 at Penn Highlands DuBois, following a brief illness.
She was born October 21, 1928 in Brandy Camp, daughter of the late Angelo and Louisa Marinucci Armanini. Nini was a graduate of Elbon High School, Class of 1946. She started her career with Palumbo Mining and then worked for Goetz Hardware from 1962 until 1997 as a bookkeeper.
On May 5, 1957, at Holy Cross Church in Brandy Camp, Dominica married the late Joseph Tamburlin, Jr., who preceded her in death on March 13, 1993.
Nini is survived by her daughter: Ann Marie Pfoutz and her husband Aaron of St. Marys; her son, Michael Tamburlin and his wife Lori of St. Marys; four grandchildren: Joseph Tamburlin, Leah Tambulin (Caton Wiesner), Brittany Pfoutz, and Larissa Pfoutz; her great-granddaughter, Mya; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, Nini was preceded in death by two sisters: Pauline Cenni and Angeline Facchine; and three brothers: Frank, Marshall, and Geno Armanini. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
Nini was a devout Catholic and a dedicated member of the St. Boniface Church. While a parishioner at St. Boniface, she was a member of the Rosary Altar Society and was employed at both the school and the parish. She was also a member of the Kersey Women’s Club. There was nothing more important to Nini than her faith and her family.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in the St. Boniface Church on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, at 10:00 AM, with the Rev. Kevin Holland, Pastor, officiating. Burial will follow in the St. Boniface Cemetery.

Nini was one of the best women that I have ever encountered. She was faithfilled, trustworthy, confidential, supportive, understanding, and always willing to lend a hand. It was a blessing to know her and to be part of her life. I will always remember her with great admiration.
Michael, Annemarie and families. Nini was one of a kind. Every 2 weeks went to Goetz for animal feed. Always happy to see us and the boys. They don’t make them like her anymore. Will miss her much!
So sorry for your loss.
With heartfelt sympathy Ann, to you and your family ❤️
