Obituary
We lost the most wonderful, caring, and compassionate lady in our lives. Our mother, Pauline went to be with Jesus May 14th, two months shy of her 90th birthday.
Pauline grew up on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada. She lost her father at an early age, but her family remained strong and very close. They were fortunate to have a Ram pump at home, so they didn't have to haul water, but were very happy when they finally got indoor plumbing.
Pauline was greeted by Queen Elizabeth twice. The first time, on the Queen's first visit to Canada, along with her girl's troupe, Pauline fainted. She taught in a one room schoolhouse for several years. One of her older boys would always come to school early to start the wood stove.
One day, she was introduced to a young handsome American teacher. They soon married and started a family in Wisconsin. He promised to return every few years. Our family trips to Canada were always adventurous, to say the least.
We all believe she was the best mother in the world. Not only was she an amazing homemaker, but she encouraged us, counseled us, and protected us. Pauline was a true testimony to Christ. She always reflected a genuine Christian love to everyone she met. Yes, she really was amazing.
