Pauline was born in 1915 in Winnipeg, MB, and attended Lord Roberts and Kelvin High Schools. As a young adult she was an active member of the Winnipeg Canoe Club where she met her husband, Norman, and made many lifelong friends. As a mother of three active boys she provided a solid, warm and nurturing home. Pauline taught Sunday School in her early years and was an active member in the Anglican Church, most recently as a member of St. Bartholomew and St. Mary Magdalene congregations. Her favourite activities were square and round dancing, RV touring, wintering in Texas, and bridge. She took great pride and joy in her grandchildren and their wide-ranging interests and accomplishments. Our family is very grateful for the exceptional care Pauline received from the loving and highly capable staff of Meadowood Manor Personal Care Home where she resided for several years.
