Shirley Pauline Pendleton of New Tazewell TN went to her heavenly home on Sunday December 29, 2019 at the age of 78. She was born September 28, 1941. Pauline loved to care for others and chose to become a nurse as it suited her kind, compassionate heart. She was a loving, encouraging mother that fiercely cherished her family. She was hardworking, diligent, and determined, always hopeful, always looking to the future. Her hands were rarely still and she had many hobbies along with an always optimistic, can-do attitude. She took joy in gardening, nature, Sunday dinners and baking many after school treats. Thank you Mom for all you did, for teaching by example. You will be forever loved and missed.
