Pauline Marie Vermeulen

While she is gone, she will not be forgotten. Her life touched so many people with her gift of hospitality, that there will be a missing part in our hearts for our Aunt Pauline every time we gather. Whenever there was a get together of kids or adults at her house, she was always well prepared to host and made sure that nobody went away hungry. She was world famous for her Tacos, Fries and her Potato Salad.

Pauline was born to Paul and Phyliss Smith on March 3rd, 1948 at Saint Martins hospital in Tonasket. She grew up in Oroville Washington and moved to Brier Washington in 1964. She graduated from Inglemoor High School in 1967 and followed with going to a school for cosmetology. Upon graduation she fell in love with and married Leo Vermeulen. They moved to the Canyon Park area in 1973 and had remained there ever since, raising their son Jeremy.

Her life was blessed by a loving family and she had many adventures out on the open seas in the two hand crafted yachts by her loving husband of 50 years. Pauline is survived by her husband Leo, son Jeremy, her 3 grandchildren Megan, Skyler, and Brianna, her 2 great grandchildren Zander and Jaxon, her brother David and sister Dianne.
