We are all better people from knowing this dear Pauline. Keywords for her would be Humor, grace, dignity-she stood up for what was right and gave with her all. PK loved movies, books, her family and friends and will be missed more than this very sad heart can tell.
"Goodnight my someone, goodnight...."

Another strong Morris woman gone beyond. I will miss the wise counsel of my dear Auntie Pauline. My heart goes out to Cal and all Kombol Kids.

I will miss Pauline's kind and generous spirit.Pauline was a a part of our entire lives! She and my Mom (Ann Jeanetta Wooding "Jan")had nearly the same birthdate making it easy to remember.She always remembered mine and I loved getting her cards and trying to decifer those chicken scratches.My last memory is very special when she hosted "the girls" around Christmas time.I made them all Angel Ornaments to tie them together in a tangible way. I am happy she is at peace and enjoying a good card game with my Mom!
