LOWELL -- Pauline R. (Miner) Cailler, 78, a resident of the Centralville section of Lowell, died Sunday, February 15, 2015 at her home, surrounded by family, after a brave and courageous battle with leukemia. She was the beloved wife of the late Raymond E. Cailler who died in 1997.

Pauline was born in Concord, NH on October 30, 1936 and was the daughter of the late Raymond and Albina (Donzey) Miner.

Pauline had also been active in scouting, having served as a Den Mother for Cub Scout Pack 24 for a great many years. Pauline enjoyed camping with her family and was looking forward to camping this summer in the new trailer she had just purchased with her youngest son.

Pauline was greatly loved by her family and friends, each of them will carry special memories of her with them forever. She will be greatly missed by all. She loved Bingo, holidays, playing cards with family and monarch butterflies.

She was looking forward to the birth of three new great-grandchildren this coming year.

The last time I saw Pauline was in November on the Christian Women's Weekend at St Basil's. We were looking for a deck of cards to have a game during the long break on Saturday. She happened to have one she let us borrow, happily. She was one of the warm and welcoming souls at St Basil's and she will be missed. God bless you, Pauline as you enjoy a reunion with your husband and with our loving Creator!
