Pauline B McDoniel

Pauline studied dance in the UK before traveling the world as a professional dancer. She came to Las Vegas in 1971 where she met and married Estes “Sonny” McDoniel and continued her career dancing in major production shows. When she finished her dancing career, she attended Business College and worked as a claims administrator for Hilton Hotels until her retirement in 2004. Together, she and Sonny continued to travel the world together.

Pauline was the epitome of a loving wife, mother and grannie. She always conducted herself with style and grace. Though she may not be here with us, she’ll be dancing in our hearts forever and she will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her husband, Sonny McDoniel, her son Gavin McDoniel, his former wife Destiny (Matt) McDoniel, and grandchildren Grace, Tanner McDoniel, and Nik Galvan. Additionally, she is survived by two stepdaughters, Erin (KC) McDoniel, Jill (Tim) Alexander, along with their children and families.
