Pauline Coursey Obituary

Pauline Coursey

Pauline Rebecca Coursey passed away Saturday, October 21, 2024 at her home.

She was the daughter of Kathleen Fudge and James Bell.

She was predeceased by her brother, Ralph Bell, Gary Coursey, father to her sons and her son, Steven Coursey.

Left to cherish her memory is Keith Coursey, of San Diego, CA. Pauline was a Mother, daughter, grandmother to Stephanie Shaffer, her only grandchild. She had two great- granddaughters, in Florida.

Although she left her friends and family suddenly and unexpectedly, she was ready to meet her Lord and Savior. Pauline was fabulous, beautiful, fun loyal and always full of life. She just loved living and sharing life with her friends. There were bad times for Pauline when she lost her husband Russ Rawlings and her son Steven, 9 months apart. She loved her son Keith and talked of him often. There is nothing like your children. Then her mother passed. We lost Pauline suddenly and unexpectedly, not getting to say our goodbyes or see you later. We are hurt with grief in our hearts, but she always said if she went first, have a party, remember the good times and there were many. God bless you Pauline and God receive her soul to be with all her loved ones. She also leaves her former husband, Gary Bosserman and all her many friends, and her Florida family, that will miss her so much, til we see her again in heaven. May she rest in paradise until we are all together.

A graveside service will be on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 2:30 pm at Riverview Cemetery, in Waynesboro. Tim Spears will officiate.
