Anyone who knew Pauline knew how much she loved Elvis. He was always her absolute favorite. She also loved Garfield, and birds, especially her beloved parrot, Tommy, whom she had for almost 30 years! In her leisure time, Pauline enjoyed coloring, reading tabloid magazines, and watching soap operas; All My Children was always her favorite one. She also enjoyed watching the NE Patriots, mostly just to see Tom Brady. The last few years of her life were spent at Riverside Rest Home, where she loved to have visits from her family and friends. Everyone that worked there loved her and took care of her right up until the end.

Pauline was always a fighter, showing incredible resilience until her last moments. Her spirit and love will live on in the memories of all who knew her. Pauline will always be loved and remembered by her family and friends, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

A Celebration of Life for Pauline will be held on June 11, 2023, at 1:00 PM in Somersworth at The American Legion. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend and honor her memory.
