Pauline grew up in Easton Massachusetts and graduated from Framingham College in 1947. Her career took her from Easton to Connecticut and to New York where she met her husband John. There they began married life together in Mount Vernon NY. She continued to be a dedicated home maker and mother while they lived there and in Hartsdale NY. Later, when her children were older and after a move to Dutchess County NY she resumed her teaching in Red Hook; returning to the Home Economics classroom until her retirement in 1985. Early retirement years she and her husband spent traveling together, moving to Virginia, and then to Southport where she has lived for 21 years.
Those who knew her knew that few things in this world brought her more joy than an orderly house and her sewing projects. Her home and family members have been benefactors of her handiwork over many years. This provided her with countless hours of enjoyment. A woman of faith, she was active in her church until recent years. She also enjoyed playing the piano and gardening. She was a 4H leader, and also a member of BPW and Delta Kappa Gamma. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
