Pauline loved being a member of Berean Missionary Baptist Church since 1957 and rarely missed until her eyesight and hearing failed to prevent her from going. She was an avid Razorback fan, loved her chocolates, and enjoyed her flower and vegetable gardens. She also enjoyed her church friends and family visiting her at home and appreciated all who visited her at Greystone Nursing and Rehab Center. Also, a big thank you to the Greystone caregivers and hospice team who cared for her like family.
