Pauline C. Kostka-Toolin

Pauline Celia Kostka-Toolin, departed this earth on March 11, 2016. She was the wife, confidant and best friend of David Toolin. She also leaves behind her sister, Sandra Mulligan, her nephew, Billy Mulligan and her best friend of 46 years, Maureen Camara. She predeceases many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and associates.

Pauline was known for her caring generosity, big heartedness, steady temperament and her willingness to help anyone, anywhere, at any time. Pauline enjoyed cooking and was a wonderful baker. She also enjoyed outdoor gardening and indoor house plants. She certainly had a “green thumb.” She had a deep affection for her rescue dog, Joshu and her two rescue cats. Her passion was indoor decorating. Pauline showed her deep caring and devotion to her hospice patients at Tidwell Hospice in Englewood, FL, and Southeastern Massachusetts VNA Hospice in Fall River during her 13 year span as a C.N.A.

Proud of her Polish heritage, she spoke the language, and loved to polka dance. Being a practical woman, she enjoyed the simple things in life and was down to earth.

Her other abilities included hairdressing, bookkeeping, customer service representative for a local orthodontist, and United Health Care. She will be greatly missed by her husband and all who knew her or came in to contact with her.

Boo Boo, you are the greatest! You are loved and will forever be greatly missed.

Your Yogster
