Pauline Mary Wood Meyer

She met the love of her life, Carl Meyer, while attending Reitz High School. They were soon married. Carl enlisted in the Navy and was sent to fight for our country in WWII. Carl and Pauline were blessed with an amazing 73 year marriage. Their love and devotion was an inspiration. Together they raised four children. When the kids were all in school, she took a job at Shane’s as a seamstress. Later she worked at Kent Plastics until she retired. She was also a lifetime member of the VFW.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; in-laws, Doris McClure and Margaret and Bill Metz; daughter-in-law, Kathy Meyer; and great-grandson, Cody Meyer.

She is survived by her husband of 73 years, Carl E. Meyer; sons, Steve (Linda), Jimmie (Linda), and David (Connie) Meyer; daughter, Sue (John) Rappee; grandchildren, Ricky, J.C., Russ (Heather) and Troy Meyer, Alecia (Bill) Fülkerson, and Sara Rappee; great-grandchildren, Samantha, Blake, Tyler (Ciana Greene), and Aley (Devan Baize) Meyer, and Lilly Fülkerson; and future great-great-grandson, Easton.

Funeral Services will be 11:00 AM Friday, May 27, 2016, at Alexander East Chapel, officiated by Rev. Ray Crane, with entombment in Alexander Memorial Park. Friends may visit Friday from 10:00 AM until service time at the funeral home.

Pauline loved spending countless hours crocheting and making gifts for family or anyone who touched her big heart. She loved to give.

Pauline enjoyed cooking, especially pies, but mostly she just loved feeding everyone. So please feel free to make a donation, in lieu of flowers, to Evansville Rescue Mission or Tri-State Food Bank in her name. She would be thrilled that she is still feeding someone.

Pauline was a loving wife, mother, grandma, and great-grandma. Her love for us will forever glow in our hearts.
