I remember her so well when she was our nurse at the junior high. What a wonderful, patriotic, and full of life person she was. The United States and South River has lost a gem!!

My condolences to Pauline's family. I'll miss seeing her each day when I visit my dad, her next door neighbor, at the Veterans Home. She was so sweet, making sure he knew when Bingo was going to be, bringing him cake or cookies when he was unable to get out there himself. Pauline made the most of her life there by going on trips whenever she could. My dad always said "Pauline doesn't miss a trick, good for her!" When I saw her these last few days, I knew she was ready to meet God, the last thing I saw her do two days before she passed was give the sign of the cross. I know she's at peace now.
