MYRTLE BEACH | Pauline A. Schils, 93, passed away Sunday, August 2, 2009 at her home with her family at her side.

Pauline was born in Port Washington, Wisconsin, August 20, 1915 and was the daughter of the late Nicholas and Anne Schinker Jacque. She was also predeceased by her husband, Alvin Leo Schils, who died in November 1978; and a sister, Marie Schanen, who died August 2008.

She moved to the Myrtle Beach area in 1973 after she and her husband raised their four children in Nashua, N.H. Pauline was a member of St. Andrew Catholic Church; the Woman's Club of the Church; Myrtlewood Country Club, and had occasionally filled in as a substitute teacher for St. Andrew Catholic School.

Surviving are two sons, Robert Schils and his wife, Connie, of Hilton, N.Y., and James Schils of Mowrystown, Ohio; two daughters, Gerry Syms and her husband, Bill, of Boise, Idaho, and Mary Bellavance and her husband, Joseph, of Nashua, N.H.; a brother, Nicholas Jacque of Port Washington, Wisconsin.; a sister, Lucille Schmit of Port Washington, Wisconsin.; 12 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 11 a.m. Thursday, August 6, 2009 in St. Andrew Catholic Church with the Rev. Msg. Joseph Roth officiating. Burial will follow in Southeastern Memorial Gardens. There will be a reception in the St. Andrew Community Life Center from 1 until 2:30 p.m.

An online guest register is available at www.msfh.net and at TheSunNews.com.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to St. Andrew Catholic Church, 501 38th Ave N., Myrtle Beach, SC 29577.

The family would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone at Myrtle Beach Family Medicine. We would also like to thank the many compassionate caregivers from Griswold Special Care who allowed her to lead an active life in her own home. Our appreciation also goes out to InCare Home Health Hospice, with special gratitude to Janet Blalock and Connie Rinaldi, her nurse and physical therapist.

There is no way we can adequately thank her many friends from her earlier years here in Myrtle Beach, golf buddies, water aerobics classmates, and her parish family at St. Andrew's. In addition we thank those very special neighbors in her building who indeed became her second family. They lovingly watched out for her safety and helped with countless acts of kindness. They truly cared for her as their own.

She was a kind and gentle soul who loved her family, her friends, and her church.

McMillan-Small Funeral Home of Myrtle Beach is serving the family.

Dear Mary and family,

As a way of introduction, my name is Judy Harlow, and I am the daughter of Peg (Hauswirth) Weber, who was the step sister of your dad, Alvin, “Bucky” as he was referred to when we were children.
It just so happened I saw a recent issue of the Ozaukee Press and came across your mother’s obituary. The name sounded familiar, as did the face, although I bet it has been over 50 years since I had seen her. I do remember her friendliness and happy personality.
Traditionally on Christmas Day, my father (he was a dentist and died of leukemia in 1954 when I was 13), mother, two brothers and I, along with my Aunt Jane (Hauswirth) Goede and her family would go to Port Washington for dinner and a family gathering at Grandpa Vic’s and “Dona’s.” I still can remember there were electric candles in all the windows of their home on Grand Avenue. I still drive by the home whenever I am in Port.
Doc Walsh, Shirley and all there children would be there, along with you dad and mom and children, so perhaps we met once or twice. I am not sure. I remember your family moving to New Hampshire. It’s funny, but several years ago our son acted in New Hampshire at the New London Barn Theater. We flew out there so see his show and thought the state was just beautiful. I even thought about your parents when I was there.
My mom passed away in 1978. She had ovarian cancer, lived three years after her first surgery, and then it spread to other areas. I still miss her. My mother was very energetic ... helped with Girl Scouts and was a good parent, raising the three of us by herself. She was also a good Catholic and a good Christian woman, often helping patients who came to the doctors’ office where she worked when we were all grown. She became friends with many of them.
I see in the death notice your mother also was very active in her church, and I am certain she enjoyed all her grandchildren and the greats, too.
It sounded like she lived a good life, and left you many good memories to lean on now that she is gone.
My husband and I offer our prayers and sympathy to you and your entire family.
Sincerely,
Joe and Judy Harlow

So sorry to read of your mother's passing. You children probably don't remember me. I was your baby sitter when you lived in Nashua.
God Bless and take care.

My sympathy goes out to the entire Pauline Shils Family as do my thoughts and prayers. Although there is sadness, it is a time to celebrate the life of a wonderful giving person who will be missed. There is no doubt that she was met at the gateway to heaven by Alvin, Shirley and others who who were fortunate enough to know her before their death. God bless the Shils family.

On behalf of the Walsh family in Wisconsin, I want to let you know how much we love Aunt Pauline. There were very special times we shared when you lived in Port Washington and shared Hales Trail and Patrick court--the memories will always be remembered. We are saddened to be without our Aunt Pauline.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Maureen (nee Walsh) had many wonderful memories of Aunt Pauline and all of you and has probably shared those already with your Mom and Mom Walsh.

There is no way I can ever say how much I miss her and that sweet smile she had every day I saw her. She was a very special lady and friend.I loved her! She will never be forgotten here at 505....

My sympathy goes out to Miss Pauline's family. I worked with her briefly in the spring of last year before she went for an extended visit with her daughter in NH. She loved the garden that her son created in back, and it was a pleasure to take care of. Miss Pauline was a joy, and quite a wit. She had the most wonderful stories about her life. Please know that my heart is with you.
Miss, Pauline, I won't forget you.
Peace.
