for over ten years at the Monroe Manor in Monroe, Wisconsin. In 1985 the
couple moved to Shawano, Wisconsin and on April 3, 1988, her husband, Leo
preceded her in death. Since 1999 she has resided at Homme Home in Wittenberg,
Wisconsin. Pauline was a life long Methodist and was very active in many
churches over the years. Her interests include gardening, reading and she
especially enjoyed English poetry. She will be remembered most as a loving
mother, grandmother and friend.

Survivors include two children: Richard Stewart of Eugene, Oregon and Mary
Mark Peterson of Caroling, Wisconsin and several other relatives and friends.

two sisters: Blanche Hite and in infancy her twin, Rosamond.
