Grandma… you were a wonderful person, beautiful spirit with a warm soul… Great-grandson Link and myself will miss you, ever so much. Thank you for everything you taught me throughout the years, from how to be a whiz in the kitchen, to allowing my voice to be heard, both speaking and singing. I know you are no longer suffering, and you finally are reunited with the love of your life. Grandma, you and Papa were the only grandparents I was blessed to know, and thank you for choosing, building, nourishing our family. For the days go on, I will light a candle in your name. Love always, your Rebecca xox

Pauline was an energetic ray of sunshine in the lives of all she touched and her warmth radiated wherever she went. She was a tireless volunteer who gave endlessly to her church, Luther Village and the community. Her family meant the world to her. She welcomed many into her home and was always interested in you.
We thank God for Pauline’s life and we have so many memories. We were blessed to enjoy Cliff & Pauline’s friendship for over 50 years. We will always treasure that!
Rhonda, Darren, Heather and family, we grieve with you in the loss of your Mom and Grandmother.

GB and I were sad to learn of Pauline’s passing. We were part of the Pine Grove Estates community and Pauline and Cliff were instrumental in making us feel welcome when we were new residents. They played an active role in the Association and we joined them on many a work party, association picnic and their wonderful corn roasts. Pauline was always such a pleasant neighbor, (even though we were on the other circle), and cared deeply about the PGE neighborhood. Our sincere condolences to Heather and all of Pauline’s family.
