I have fond memories of Aunt Pauline that will stay with me for ever. She had a great sense of humor and she always was upbeat and optimistic. I'm pleased that I was in Arizona on a business trip on the day of her 90th birthday and took the occasion to stop and visit with her. I hadn't stayed in touch very well but am glad I had that chance. It was great to talk with her, and the fact that she was still living independently, albiet with a lot of support from Velma and family, was an inspiration.
She and her family were a big part of my growing up years on the farm. They visited us often so my dad could cut the boy's hair and we visited them often for good old fashion country Sunday dinners.
In fact, I think my dad's hair cutting may have lead Bill into a very satisfying career as a barber in Mendon after leaving the army.
I'm truly sorry that I was not able to attend the graveside ceremony last Saturday but understand it was well attended by family, including my brothers John and Dave, and a lot people from the Athen community.
I echo John's assurance that when the roll is called up yonder Aunt Pauline will be there. May she rest in peace in the arms of her lord.
My condolences to Velma, Ester, Robert, Joyce and Bill and all of their families.

AuntPauline who is really Ron's aunt but seemed like mind too. She was fun loving lady. I am thankful I was able to visit her right after Ron passed. We had such a grand time. (Oh how she loved Canasta). Glad she touched so many lives and made them feel better just by being around her.
What a wonderful lady! Perhaps Ron was watching at the gate to greet her.

My Aunt Pauline was an important person in my youth and she remained so in my adulthood. She taught me much. She was fun-loving, and, after overcoming a serious case of being shy all the way through high school, about as social and talkative as a person can be. I will never forget the times Aunt Pauline and my mother, her sister-in-law Beulah Reece, would talk and giggle like little girls far into the night when we visited. Aunt Pauline had a great sense of humor, and she was a seriously optimistic person. My childhood memories of visiting Aunt Pauline and Uncle Leo's farm are both pleasing and indelible. Though I never stopped teasing Aunt Pauline, I am sure I was one of her favorite nephews, and, while I cannot pretend I was the most religious and definitely not the most pious of her relatives, Aunt Pauline never for an instant gave up on me. She maintained a wholesome acceptance of those around her, and she prayed for all of us equally. When I learned that she had fallen and broken her hip several years ago, I thought, "Well, Aunt Pauline won't get over that." What a fool I was. I continue to be inspired by her personal strength and her simple human courage to will herself, at first on her hands and knees, to walk again. I can still remember the song that was sung at her mother's funeral: "When the Roll is Called up Yonder." Well, when the roll is called up yonder, Aunt Pauline, you'll be there.

Pauline was more than a very special lady; she was endearing in every way. She was one of those people that would just make your heart smile when you thought of her...it still does. We will love her always.

Pauline was a part of our family. My children and grandchildren loved her. She was such a delight to have in our midst. She had many friends because she loved everybody, no exceptions. She loved the Lord and made that known wherever she was. She is painless and happy today. What a blessing. Our love, Bob and Beulah Stucy
