Pauline Dorothy Cook, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 25, 2025, at the Seasons Belleair Memory Care Facility, where she had been lovingly cared for in her final days. Born on November 20, 1941, in Watford, England, Pauline led a life filled with love, creativity, and dedication to her family and community.
Pauline was a nurturing spirit who made her mark as a devoted nurse-aide, bringing compassion and care to those in need. Her professional journey reflected her deep-seated desire to help others, and her warm heart touched the lives of many throughout her career.
She is preceded in death by her cherished husband, Robert Cook, and her beloved children, Darren Keith and Karen Keith. Their absence was a profound loss for Pauline, but her legacy continues through her surviving family. She is lovingly remembered by her granddaughters, Chelsea Suhr and Crystal Stefanopoulos, and her great-grandchildren, Austin, Kaylie, Kyra, Kamryn, Robyn, and Dylan. Pauline also leaves behind her daughter-in-law, Luan Dean, who will forever hold her close in cherished memories.
A member of the American Legion Post 273 Auxiliary, Pauline was an active participant in her community, where she forged many friendships and shared her vibrant spirit. Her hobbies reflected her love for life; she found joy in entertaining family and friends, traveling, cruising, and playing bingo. Pauline's laughter and kindness created countless beautiful memories that will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
Pauline had a special talent for creating artwork for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, each piece infused with her love and thoughtfulness. These artistic expressions will serve as everlasting reminders of her boundless affection and creativity.
As we reflect on the life of Pauline Dorothy Cook, we are reminded of her unwavering strength, her nurturing spirit, and her commitment to her loved ones. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Seasons Belleair Memory Care Facility for their care and compassion during her time there, providing comfort to both Pauline and her family.
In our hearts, Pauline will live on, her legacy woven into the stories we share and the love we continue to give. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
