Pauline was loved by everyone she met. Early on she served as recreation leaders with her brother Reed in city parks and enjoyed watching movies in theaters (mostly because of the popcorn), and anything Disney. She worked faithfully in service both within and outside of the church. Was especially devoted to family with weekly home evenings for instruction, games/activities, chore assignments, etc. She was an amazing contributor for women's, youth, nursery groups in the church, even for youth camps for a few years, including Dance Festivals and Road Shows. Spent over 20 years of teaching church Seminary Religion classes for High Schoolers. She helped facilitate a "Joy School" parenting home preschool group, participated in choirs, dance recitals (of Ballroom, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, etc.).

She also ran businesses in Fort Collins, CO, Colorado Springs, CO, and Englewood, CO.

Pauline's grace and generous loving spirit will guide many generations to come, and key parts of the world will be a better place by her example.
