Pauline was a very hard worker; she worked alongside her husband on the farm for many years. She loved to cook and bake for her family and friends. She enjoyed bowling, playing bingo, and playing cards. She also loved camping with her family.

She is predeceased by her husband, Elmer; her parents, Joseph and Mary; her daughter-in-law Beverly Gasper; two grandchildren; and 10 siblings.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude and thanks to all the staff at Union Court Assisted Living in St. Charles.
