Pauline was a devoted Catholic, prayed the rosary and attended Mass, something she looked forward to every week. She was a blessing in our lives spending time to gather family for many happy events. She will be remembered for the life that she lived with grace, love and kindness. We thank our Dear Lord for giving our beautiful Mom to us. She enjoyed going out shopping with her daughters or just going out. Pauline loved bowling twice a week and worked on the election board. When she returned to her treasured home that Leo built, she always entered saying “Praise Be To Jesus Christ Now and Forever”. Now may she be at peace in her new eternal home.
