Up until her later years, Pauline was very active in the church and will be remembered as a great organizer for church bazaars, soup suppers, bible schools, PEO dinners and Alumni Banquets. She will be remembered as a great cook with her big Sunday dinners after church, her awesome pancakes for breakfast and buckeyes at Christmas.

Pauline had a love of reading and studying cookbooks. In 2005 she had a cookbook published with recipes from her life called, Pauline's Favorite Recipes. Pauline enjoyed being a farmwife, mother and grandma, mowing with her rider mower, wallpapering, sewing, planting her garden and flowers and a great love of reading that she passed down to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
