Not sure what to say?

Such a beautiful person. I feel very lucky to have gotten to ski with her and lee for many years. We have missed her and lee this year. Hard to believe she is gone although we will remember her and her kindness and wit forever. God bless lee and Pauline's family and friends.

A wonderful fellow skier and friend. I only knew Pauline a short time but it seemed like years, will miss your friendship.

Pauline was a very positive helpful person. I sailed & raced sunfish with her & Lee. Many years ago in the 90s, she sewed a heavy-duty traveling sail cover for me that is still in excellent condition. My wife, Gina, & I enjoyed our time at Leaser Lake kayaking and canoeing with her & Lee. They were an awesome couple. Pauline had a great sense of humor. It was always a pleasure to be around her. She will truly be missed. I hope her journey to heaven is fast tracked.

Pauline was always a trusted and friendly member of Blue Mountain Ski Patrol.
She was always ready to help, be it with a friendly smile and a few words and also when first aid and transport was needed on the hill.
Pauline - you will be missed amongst our ranks and we hope we can make you proud in the way we carry on as long as we can, just the way you did for so many years!
Your co-patroller and friend,
Hans Buckley and Family

Pauline, although very quiet, was always there to help out in an emergency. One night, a school child did not make it home from Blue Mountain. Although we had to go back out and sweep for this child, through Pauline's persistence, she found the child when to another child house. She earned her "stripes" that night.

Pauline was such a consummate professional when I interacted with her on ski patrol. May this fine lady rest in peace and have the blessing of time attempt to heal her family and friend’s hearts.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Pauline was the most kind, strong and hardest working person ever!! We have many great memories skiing together and taking care of our home!! Good people and she will be missed!
