Pauline Joanne Thompson

Pauline was born July 14th, 1957 in Kingston, JA. When Pauline was a teenager she moved with her mother to New York - first to Brooklyn and then to the Bronx - where she lived for many years.

She graduated from Franklin D. Roosevelt High School in Brooklyn and then pursued an Associates degree in Nursing at Hunter College in Manhattan. Later on she pursued a Associates in Business Administration from Devry University in greater New York.

As an adult she pursued her desire to become an American citizen and was naturalized in 1997.

Pauline moved to Georgia in 2001 to join friends and family already living here. She ultimately settled in Stone Mountain in 2004. She, along with her mother, immediately became an active congregant at White Oak Hills Baptist Church.

She lived her Christian faith as a kind and generous mother, friend and member of the community - participating in many acts of charitable giving, fellowship, prayer circles and bible study.

Pauline also lived her life loud. She loved music, social gatherings and enjoyed the company of friends, family and strangers.

Pauline held a host of professional positions in her life, most recently she was a Human Resources Assistant with AAA Parking in downtown Atlanta, where she made many new friends who join us in celebrating her life.
