While raising her family, and perfecting her cooking and seamstressing skills, her and Michael devoted their lives to serving others in need. They received awards throughout the years including Northern RI, CYO, and St. Agatha's volunteers of the year. Pauline's devotion to God made her the most incredible, faithful and loving person she was. Everyone loved being in her presence and will miss her deeply.

I didn't know Pauline very well but whenever I would see her she was such a pleasure to be around. She had a great sense of humor and was just a beautiful person. She will be missed.

As a child growing up at St Agatha's, I will always remember Mrs. Aridano's smile and her patience when teaching, later I remember her commitment to church and family. A beautiful spirit has gone home to the Lord. To Mike and all her family, my deepest sympathies. During this Holiest of weeks may it bring you some comfort to know she will Rise again with her Savior. God Bless Rachel (Peloquin) Daly, a former student, a neighbor and a friend.
