Pauline was born on January 19, 1922 in Carnegie, Oklahoma to the late Joe and Nona McLaughlin.

Pauline was one of eight children and was the last living survivor of her original five brothers and two sisters.

While working one of her many jobs to help her family she met the love of her life in Stinnett, TX. He was home for the summer from the University of Texas.

Pauline was truly a homemaker and most notably a faithful wife, mother, grandmother and she absolutely loved her family.

Taking care of family and making sure everybody was comfortable was her greatest and most enjoyable hobby. She made everyone feel at home and you never left her house cold, tired and hungry.
