Paul and Deanna Orzel, of West Wyoming, will celebrate 25 years of marriage, love and laughter on Tuesday, May 17.
They were married at St. Aloysius Church, Wilkes-Barre, by the Rev. Paul Miller and Rev. Joseph Gilbert, and followed by a dinner reception with family and friends hosted at the Ramada Inn, Scranton. They went on a honeymoon road trip across the western United States.
Paul, the son of Jeanne Orzel, of Moosic, and the late Arthur Orzel, is a graduate of Seton Catholic High School, Kings College and received a master’s degree in Business Administration from Wilkes University.
Prior to working as a real estate agent for Classic Properties, a PIAA basketball official, and an adjunct university professor, he works for Navient (formerly Sallie Mae).
Deanna, the daughter of Donna Sanfilippo, of Wilkes-Barre, and the late Carl Sanfilippo, graduated from Elmer L. Meyers High School. Deanna serves as a team lead at Keystone Automotive Operations Inc. since 1998.
Deanna and Paul met while both worked at Sallie Mae.
The couple is the supportive, encouraging, and only slightly embarrassing parents of Addison and Cassidy Orzel and the proud dog-parents of Obi Orzel.
When they’re not spending time with their family and friends, the couple enjoys taking spontaneous day trips, evening walks, and relaxing in their yard, though they make each moment they are together memorable.
Those who know Paul and Deanna know they are fun loving, selfless, and a shining example of a devoted married couple that are friends first.
