Pauline was predeceased by her beloved husband, Colridge Lloyd Holland, in 2024. Pauline was an adored sister to Elna (Gibzan), Valerie, Claudette (Alex), Everton (Esther), Newton (Sharon), and Luke (Andrea). She was predeceased by her siblings Minnette, Kenneth, Janice, and Sandra, as well as her brother-in-law, Desmond Parker.

Pauline was a devoted member of Hamilton Church of God, where her faith was an important part of her life. She loved God deeply and was known as a woman of prayer. She also enjoyed gardening and cooking and took great joy in preparing meals for her family and loved ones.

Her faith, warmth, and the many memories she created with those she loved will remain in their hearts forever.
