Pauline Summers Obituary
Newark - Pauline J. Summers, age 92, of Newark, DE, passed away Wednesday, November 28, 2018. Pauline retired after 30 years of dedicated service at Ship & Shore where she worked as a manager. She had the biggest heart and could be found every weekend serving food at Emmanuel Dining Room. Pauline's beans & rivels and pies were at the top of everyone's list. She loved sewing and made adorable hats for the newborn babies at Christiana Hospital. In earlier years, Pauline played the guitar in a band with her sisters and they made beautiful music together.
Pauline is survived by her sons: Daniel E Summers (Mary Ann), Van L Summers (Peggy), and Gary R Myers; sister, Patsy Moats; 6 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ivan L Summers; parents, Chalmer and Minnie Myers; and sisters, Elaine Bloyer and Shirley Cook.
A visitation will be held Friday, December 7, 2018, from 10:30-11:30 AM at Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Rd., Newark, DE 19702 followed by a service in celebration of Pauline's life at 11:30 AM.
