Pauline Aughenbaugh Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 9, 2024.
Pauline Elizabeth Aughenbaugh (Sprenkle), 97, passed away at home with her daughter in Punta Gorda, FL on August 29, 2024. Born on June 7, 1927, in York Haven, PA, she lived a vibrant and fulfilling life characterized by her sociable nature and her love for life.

Pauline was a spirited individual, often described as a firecracker who knew how to have fun. Her career at Fincor International was marked by dedication, leading to a well-earned retirement. Beyond her professional achievements, Pauline had a rich personal life filled with various hobbies. She enjoyed activites such as bowling, boating, fishing and crabbing, watching Nascar racing and playing cards with friends. Pauline cherished time spent at her bungalow by the river and at the beach house in Delaware, creating countless memories with family and friends. Known for her hospitality, her home was a welcoming haven for many.

Pauline is survived by her children, Robert Fetrow, Gary Aughenbaugh, Lori Trout Whitebread, and Sandra K. Aughenbaugh; and her sister, Delores "Dottie" Barbush, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Catharine (Idail) Sprenkle; her husband, Gordon R. Aughenbaugh; sons, Barry and Bruce Fetrow; and six siblings.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 14th at 1 pm at the Loyal Order of Moose, Port Charlotte, 3462 Loveland Blvd. Southwest Florida Funeral and Cremation Services in Harbor Heights, FL, is assisting the family with arrangements. Pauline's life and legacy will be remembered fondly by all who knew her, as she made the world a brighter place with her presence.

I have so many wonderful memories of being neighbors on Reynolds Mill Rd. From going on weekend trips to the river where Pauline taught me how to play hearts to showing me how to crack crabs. The memories will live forever in my heart! My deepest sympathy to her family and may she kick butt with Gordy once again!
My sympathy,
Joyce (Sipe) Myers & Rich Myers
