Pauline Vincent Obituary

Pauline M. (Hannon) Vincent, 76, of Manchester, NH, died October 12, 2020, surrounded by the love of her family, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.

A lifelong resident of Manchester, NH, Pauline was born August 27, 1944 to Henry J. and Claire (Aubertin) Hannon.

A graduate of Saint Joseph High School for Girls, Class of 1962, and New Hampshire College of Accounting (now SNHU), she spent most of her career managing small business.

Devoted to her faith, she was an active, longtime communicant of Saint Catherine of Siena Church, where she served as Eucharistic Minister and previously taught CCD.

Pauline had a quick wit about her and was blessed with the gift of gab. She was often described as feisty and had a plucky, spirited personality. The activity closest to Pauline's heart was traveling. Whether it was taking family trips or vacationing with friends, Pauline was always enjoying a new journey and planning new destinations. Photographing those moments served as a joyful hobby and provided special memories. She was an avid beach goer and often referred to the ocean as her favorite place to be.

Pauline is survived by her husband, Robert J. Vincent; a son, Scott A. Vincent and his wife, Laura; a daughter, Gail Charpentier and her husband, Gerry; a daughter, Lynn M. Grzywacz and her husband, Ken; three grandchildren, Nicholas Grzywacz, Sean Vincent, and Mark Vincent; and a cousin, Kathleen Harris.

Services: A pass-by wake with strict social distancing, masks, and restricted contact with the family will be held Wednesday, October 14, 2020, from 5 to 7 PM at Connor-Healy Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 537 Union Street, Manchester.

The funeral will be held Thursday, October 15, 2020 with a mass of Christian burial to be celebrated at 10:00 AM in Saint Catherine of Siena Church, 207 Hemlock Street, Manchester, NH. The church has planned social distancing procedures. Seating is limited and masks are required.

Urn burial will follow in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Manchester, NH.

Am so sorry to hear of Pauline's passing. I went to high school with Pauline and considered her a friend. She always had a quick wit and something to say about everything. She lived life on her terms and my sympathies to her family. I'm sure she left a very big void in your lives as she does in anyone who knew her. RIP Pauline. Love you. Sharon Snyder Rocha, St. Joes, Class of 1962

Pauline's passing is a great loss to her family and friends. The sentiments shared here capture her intellect, her heart and her spirit. She surely fought this battle with strength and great courage. I am so very sorry.

Bob, Lynne, Gail, Scott, there are not enough words to tell you how sorry we are for your loss or to tell you of our own small part in this loss. This week our family lost a friend. Whether it was returning after all of the party guests had left to do the dishes for a hostess sick with bronchitis, playing the role of a dying grandmother in Elizabeth's Anne of Green Gables video book report, a "quick" conversation in the middle of the street, loaning her basement for us to hide Christmas presents too large to hide in our own (and letting us in at midnight to collect them), sharing tears at the passing of a shared friend, or sharing uproarious laughter at absolutely nothing (perhaps those cocktail franks she and Dave both liked so much), Pauline was the embodiment of the words good neighbor. She was always proud of her children and grandchildren and always interested in hearing about mine, even in our last conversation not so long ago. I will miss her, even as I rejoice for her that the pain is over and she is at home with Jesus. Dave and I are deeply sorry for the loss being felt by her family, We are also sorry that, because we are out of state, we will not be there to give our condolences to you in person. Hugs and Love to you all.

I remember the first time I met Pauline, over 55 years ago, I thought she was a pretty, blonde, sassy little thing who didn’t “hold back”...and she never did. I grew to appreciate that honesty and her forthright manner, in which she expressed what she felt and what she thought, because you knew where you stood with her. Pauline had a good and compassionate heart for all of her “tell it like it is” facade, and a wonderful sense of humor that was her trademark. Rest in peace Pauline.
Till we meet again...
Love, Terry

Mrs. V (never Pauline to me) was a very special person. She was like a second mom to me. Her amazing sense of humor made me laugh often, whether it was while playing cards, sitting by the lake or enjoying a birthday party for her grandson. She will be remembered fondly and always in my heart! Hope there are some slots in heaven!
Love you Mrs. V, rest in peace!!

I will always cherish her witty sense of humor & "tell it like it is" conversations as well as all the very many wonderful memories of all our Friday night game nights together, beach visits, holiday gatherings and fun pool parties and cook-outs with her and Vince and friends...most of all I loved sharing just plain real & personal conversations about anything and everything with her. She will be truly missed and treasured in my heart always! Love you!
