Pauline (Polly} was born in Alexander, North Carolina in 1918. At some point in her young life they lived and she even attended school in Sevierville Tennessee. Polly remembers family travelling back to her home state of North Carolina with her family in a covered wagon. She grew up on a tobacco farm in Alexander, NC where she worked in the fields with Pappa Kent and siblings.

Polly started a life with Millard Austin in and around Ashville NC. Peggy Jean, their first child was born 1941 followed by Linda Louise in 1943. They lived in and around Asheville including at some point moving to Black Mountain. In 1956 they moved to St Petersburg, FL where they lived on Madeira Beach during the girls teenage years. Polly took a job as a Glass blower at GE Defense Plant where she worked and retired from after 25 years.

In 1972 Polly married Ralph Ramsey and they spent 44 wonderful years together travelling to almost all the states. They sometime would be gone for five months travelling in their home away from home RV. They met many people and saw so many places and had many memories of all they had seen. They didn't make it to Alaska or Hawaii as they joked they didn't think their RV would make it through the Oeean or the rough terrain of Alaska.

On her 90th Birthday we decided to have a "Kent" Reunion on and around her birthday in October. We enjoyed eight years of that celebration .How she loved seeing all the family that came from near and far to help her celebrate. She kept up with the best of them. She adored family and they adored her.

Polly left this world a nicer and more gentle place. she had quite the sense of humor and we all enjoyed her antics. She will be so sorely missed by everyone that she touched.

God bless our "Little" Mother, may she fly high with the angel and rejoice in reuniting with her family
