Pauline "Polly" Bollinger

My Aunt Polly was a wonderful woman - an inspiration to many, especially to me. She could always be counted on to share her insight, advice and encouragement. She will be greatly missed.

Polly was at one time our next door neighbor at DeLancey Court. We grew to love her and so admired her positive spirit and kind soul. She was a very dear friend and we often stopped in for a coffee while walking in the cold weather or shared a pot of soup. Once we celebrated New Year's Eve together by banging on pots and pans while walking through the neighborhood! She was a classy, lovely lady, but also knew how to have a fun time. We will miss her so, but will cherish our memories of...

First, Mr. Niles Bollinger was our mailman and when I finished my service in the Navy he suggested I contact his wife, Mrs. Bollinger at Sears. As a result, I was hired as a teletype operator while I was going to College. I remained at Sears, Harrisburg thru the relocation to Colonial Park, met my wife Polly there, and then on to the executive training program, which eventually led me to a National position in Chicago. My entire career I owe to these to individuals and miss them very much....

I knew Polly through Executive Women International. She was a first class lady, and she will be missed.

Mrs. Bollinger was an absolute professional and business woman. She hired me several times for part time employment at Sears and was always supportive and interested in what her staff were doing. I remember how kind she was to me when I first applied for a part time job at Sears. She took a real interest in me and called me several times for future part time work. What a great lady!

My aunt Polly was a wonderful woman - kind, cheerful and so full of life - and elegant at times. I have many great memories of visiting her and uncle Niles and Donna.
