Pauline will truly be missed by us. She was a sweet neighbor for 40 years. She loved being outside and tending to her yard and always a wave or a visit. She remembered our family birthdays with no problem. Sincere sympathy to her loving family that will have many wonderful memories in their hearts.
Pauline was like Family to me. I’m so proud to call her my Friend. She was the sweetest, kindest person I ever met & I’m so Grateful to have had her in my life. I’m happy she is at Peace with the Lord but will miss her dearly. Her cute humor yet competitive spirit when we’d play games. So innocent in many ways but full of wisdom. Her kind spirit will be in my heart forever. I pray her Family, that was ever so Dear to her, find comfort in the blanket of Love from Family & Friends along with so many precious memories. God Bless you all & God Bless her soul!
I have known Pauline since I was a little girl. She liked to tell us stories about her Daughter Glenda and I growing up together. We would get in trouble and Pauline would ground Glenda but she would let me come and see her. We would set on the front porch and talk and watch cars go by. Pauline was so sweet. She was a very kind person. We played a lot of cards over the years, laughing and had a lot of good times together. I will miss her very much. She was so very special to me, a great friend! My prayers go out to her Family.
To my dearest Pauline,
You were the epitome of beauty, both inside and out. You raised a truly incredible family, and your warmth and kindness will always be remembered. Your arms were forever open, welcoming all with a heart full of love and a piece of chocolate in hand. May you rest in peace and God’s eternal love.
With all my love. 💖
