Pauline Cardinale Obituary

Cardinale, Pauline (nee Lefebvre)

Jul 29, 1942 - Nov 16, 2025

Age 83, of Hamburg, New York, sadly passed away Sunday, due to heart complications. Pauline was born on July 29th, 1942 to Lionel and Florentine Lefebvre, in Canada. After graduating high school Pauline went on to work in various fields, the two she was most proud of being a fine dining server, as well as a pharmacist assistant. While working was a high accomplishment for Pauline her true love was her family. For over 50 years Pauline was married to Russell Cardinale, their love was a true example of a wonderful marriage. They had one son together, Russell Cardinale Jr. who was and will always be Pauline's pride and joy. When Pauline retired she dedicated all of her time to her hobbies as well as taking care of her husband, who passed on two and a half years before her. Pauline lived a life that was rich with love and gentle faith, she was an exceptional woman with a heart of gold; and she will be missed every single day. Pauline is survived by her son and his wife, her grandchildren, and several of her siblings. All of whom will miss her nurturing strength, and her quiet humor. Pauline's soul was surrounded by her family and her loved ones on this difficult journey, as we had to say such a hard goodbye. In keeping with Pauline's wishes there will be no funeral services. The family appreciates your understanding, and invites you to take a moment to celebrate her life by sharing their favorite memories.
