Pauline Shale Obituary
Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1924, she lived a life filled with love, creativity, and devotion to her family.
She put her family and her husband Harry of 71 years, first. Nothing brought her greater joy than time spent with her four children and five grandchildren, whom she adored.
She was a talented artist, sketching until the age of 100. She was also brilliant at needlepoint and knitting. she lived a life with humble competitiveness, playing ping pong into her mid nineties. Most recently on her 101st birthday, she entertained us playing the harmonica. Known for her sharp memory and lively mind, she amazed all who knew her for her ability to recall events in vivid detail whether recent or those that occurred decades earlier.
She is survived by her four children, their spouses, and five grandchildren who will forever remember her for her unbridled love and kindness.
