My Gram was always bigger than life to me. I will always remember every Easter & Thanksgiving holiday at her house. The entire family w/12 grandkids were there. All the Fuher boys--including my dear brother Bob must have welcomed you with open arms. I will see you again Gram. Dalene

Pauline was a very dear friend and employee of my father, Lloyd Russell, when he managed Webster's Grain Door Plant in Spokane. They stayed in touch for several years after they both retired. She was always such a sweet, sweet lady. Our condolences to her family. Janice Russell McCall
