She is also survived by her sisters, Ernestine Boswell and Robie Shirley of Austin, Tx, Hughdee Bowen and Nan Shirley of Houston, Tx, and many nephews nieces. She graduated from Durham Business School in Austin and worked for the Texas Highway Dept for several years until she worked from home. Pauline loved decorating and canning in the hill country. She retired to Marble Falls, Tx where Pauline had many gardens of flowers and vegetables, and friends. It was amazing what her green thumb could do! You were always welcome at her home that she shared with her husband of the time, Charles J. Schell. Her grandchildren loved her and she showered them with her love as well. Much love and many laughs over almost a century. Pauline was a life member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Foreign Wars of the US since 1982.
