Pauline, you are thought of so often…your positive energy, your smile that  brightens the gloomiest day, your friendship and caring nature.  You are missed and loved, forever and always.  

I feel so bad that Pauline has passed away. Almost three years now and I am so sorry that I could not have been a better husband and friend to the person I married. Not one day goes by that I done think of you and our life together. I should have have done a better. I am so sorry That I never saw how good you were to me. I still will always love you. Richard and Pete. 

It’s been two years since you left us. Missing you so much today and love you bunches. ❤️

Pauline was an amazing person. An amazing mother-in-law. And she adored Yui, her granddaughter, as much as Yui adored her. Anytime me and Chris got into an argument, she'd let me vent to her and then help give me advice, giving me insight from his point of view. I only got to spend two years with her, but they're two years I'll never forget. I miss her so much. I love her like she was a second mother to me. I'll never stop telling Yui stories about her.

 Pauline was a beautiful person and  Caring friend and a excellent Advisor we worked together at AutoZone distribution center in Lafayette Louisiana for 15 years .. She was always cheerful funny and understand We love the stories and her love for motorcycles And Mickey Mouse . To her son and her family y’all have my deepest condolences and I will be praying for you in this time of sorrow  .Be Blessed 🙏🏾

I cannot believe such a warm and wonderful lady is gone.   She trained me at the juvenile center and she became such a good friend.   Such a funny sense of humor.  Chris, we laughed so hard when she was retelling your “Dukes of Hazard” experience in Arkansas!  She’ll be in my heart and memories forever.  

I worked with Pauline when Dressbarn first opened. She was like another mother to a few of us. She always had our back and spoke so highly of us to others. She had the most genuine heart and always wanted to know how you were doing before herself! She also always had good stories of her family. She loved her son so much and he definitely was her pride and joy!  She will be greatly missed! 

Pauline and I worked together at Dress Barn.  She was a true Joy & Lots of Fun to work with, and I’m blessed to have gotten to know her.  She had a genuine and sincere heart, and was a compassionate friend.  She will be greatly missed. Sending prayers for strength, comfort and Peace to her Beloved Family. 

When we were in high school Pauline's family was kind enough to open up their home to me during the week so I could attend Biloxi High. We used to always go to the motorcycle shop after school and I remember always laughing and smiling with her no matter what. Even though we hadn't been near each other over the past 40 years we always stayed friends. I cant belive shes gone. I am going to miss her so much.

Polly loved being the family baby, but she never acted immature because of it. I was 8 years old when she was born. It was a Monday if I remember correctly. The new baby was coming but we still had to go to school . I remember being so over joyed later that day when I learned that I had another sister.  Polly has always been a strong, giving, and loving person who you rarely saw without her beautiful smile. She found great joy in becoming a mother and treasured every minute she spent raising Chris. When Yui arrived and she was over the moon.  The sad news of her sudden passing has been overwhelming.  I'm going to miss my Baby Sister. Love you always Polly Cay . 

I  am in disbelief of the news I heard today about my friend,  former employee,  and co-worker.   I interviewed and hired a special lady in 2014, to  be one of my Assistant Managers, and help me open the new Tyler Dressbarn.  We immediately all became family.   If I needed anything, her words were "whatever you need", and she always followed through...    she always made the employees and customers feel comfortable.  She got to know customers of our store, and also other members of management from dressbarn throughout the District, and was always well liked by all.   She held dear to, and talked very fondly, of  her biological family,  first her immediate household family, Chris, Tayla, and Yui,  and she never left out her sweet Mother.  She also talked about being Polly to her siblings, and nieces and nephews,  and talked a lot about her niece Gwen...    During our time at dressbarn together, we went through a few family losses...   The Tyler dressbarn divas started getting together before Covid19 hit...  Our last get together was in Feburary, and she looked great, and was laughing and joking as she normally did.    She was my photographer/techno at the store, so I dont really have pics, but I think our friend Trolondra, who was a dear customer, summed it up in her pic of Pauline.  That  is how we remember Pauline "Polly" at Tyler Dressbarn...

Pauline was the perfect Mother-in-law for my daughter and the best Grandma to Yui. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful lady, yet wonderfully blessed to have had the privilege to call her my friend. 

Having Pauline as my manager at Dressbarn was an enormous blessing in my life. I have such special memories of her -  from dancing to our favorite songs at Dressbarn, to hour long talks about life by our cars after closing together. ❤️

When Bruce and I were dating, Polly lived at home and we became fast friends, like sisters.  Bruce died 2 years ago and I  hope he can take care of his baby sister. I remember laughing on the lawn in Ocean Springs and Florida and being in your wedding.  I love you, Polly, and I always will. ❤❤❤

I am going to miss my sweet dear friend. I met Pauline the first day Dressbarn opened. I was a frequent shopper there, and she and I had an instant friendship. She stopped whatever she was doing to help me and we mostly talked. I enjoyed her sweet presence, and it became like a social gathering.  She was so happy to become a grandmother for Yui. I am so saddened that we have lost a precious soul.

I have so many memories of working with Pauline at Dressbarn.   She was truly one of a kind and a joy to work with.  She will be missed. 

Polly and I were the youngest of six kids, the last ones at home. So we shared many days and nights as best friends. She was blessed with her son, Chris after many long years of trying. Then, blessed even more with the birth of her grandbaby, Yui. 
My daughter, Gwyn doted on her Aunt Polly. I know GiGi will miss her dearly. My heart is broken. 

I will miss my late night calls with my Aunt Polly that would last for hours.  We always had so much fun when she would come to town. Lots of laughing till our stomachs hurt. 
One of my favorite memories was sitting on my back deck talking for hours and having several glasses of wine. 
She was always wanting to help someone. She had the biggest heart. 
Love and miss her so much!
