I've known Pauline as a coworker and friend for the past 11-years. A number of us played cards at lunch daily, and so we have gotten to know her very well. She always spoke of her sons and grandkids with great joy. And she took pride in the fact that many of us, too, called her "Mom".
She obviously loved to cook, and she often treated us to cakes and other home-baked goods. I know I can speak for us all when I say that the biggest treat was simply knowing Pauline and having her as a friend.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of this wonderful person. She will be sorely missed by her friends at work, and by all of us who enjoyed playing cards with her at lunch.
In loving memory, Stan Senger.

To the family of Pauline,
Pauline was a wonderful co-worker and friend. She and I worked together on the annual Halloween party for the Division, where I was under her watchful eye to make sure decorations were well done. I loved how she dressed in colors and sparkle. She was an inspiration to me, and I hope to live as long with as much life as she had.
My condolences to you in the loss of your mom, grandmother, and friend.

Dear McMannes Family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Pauline was a wonderful family friend and we had recently seen her at the visitation for my mom Joyce Rowe who passed at the end of January. It was great to see her and talk about softball and Miss Oregon. Pauline did so much for so many. Our thoughts are with you. God Bless, Jim Rowe, Mark Rowe, Gretchen (Rowe) Rennebaum, Jill (Rowe) Krantz
