Pauline M Hogan

Pauline grew up in Brighton and was the daughter of Rena and Paul McAleer. She graduated from Brighton High School, and was voted “The Spirit of Brighton High”. Pauline worked as a secretary at Donnelly’s Advertising before she was married. After marriage and raising children, she would go on to nursing school and after graduating from the Henry O. Peabody School of Nursing she became a Licensed Practical Nurse at Norwood Hospital.

Pauline loved to dance, which is how she met her husband Russell, at Mosley’s in Dedham, many years ago. She also enjoyed doing arts and crafts with her grandchildren, and attending all of their big life moments. She loved cheering on the Red Sox and Patriots with her sons and daughter. Pauline cherished her vacations in Ogunquit, Maine with her daughter. In her younger years she also enjoyed vacationing to Maine and New Hampshire with family, including her “Bobsey Twin” sister, Barbara. She also took joy in being her husband’s favorite “answer book” for his stubborn morning crosswords. “Nana” was also famous for her delicious pecan pies, and sharp wit.

Pauline was a devoted Catholic, and loved attending mass at St. Catherine’s Parish. She was also a lifelong supporter of Saint Anthony’s Guild to help the less fortunate.
