Pauline J Diggs
November 25, 1957 - October 15, 2020
Pauline Jeanette Tottsy Diggs was the eldest and only queen born to her loving parents William Jordan and Della Mae Diggs-Ramsey (Wesley Ramsey) on November 25, 1957 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Pauline accepted Christ and was a proud member of West End Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church, where she was later baptized. She then joined Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church, where she could be found blessing the pews with song and dance, as well as completing the Pastor’s sermons with her distinctive knowledge of the Holy bible. Pauline had an undignified praise and was a joyful worshipper who never met a stranger.
Pauline attended Saint Louis Public Schools. She graced the halls of Cole School, where she completed through the eighth grade. Pauline also met her special friend, companion, and father to her only child, Claude Turner Jr. She went on to attend Vashon High School, where she was known for her sharp dress, flawless appearance, and resilient personality. Pauline was an honorary member of the C.D. Banks Sarah Street organization, which she enjoyed volunteering at her former grade school, and faithfully attended their yearly reunion with other Alums in Turner Park. She later received an Administration Certification from Forest Park Tech College.
Pauline was a hard and dedicated worker as she was once employed with St. Louis University Hospital and later as an Administrator at Centennial Plaza Apartments (Lutheran Senior Services), prior to relishing her retirement. She can be remembered as a servant leader whom exuded wisdom.
Pauline was a loving sister, mother, grandmother, auntie, cousin and friend. She had a personality that would light a dark room, make a flower bloom, and make the sun shine through shade. Pauline valued devotion, family gatherings, traveling, dancing, and spending time with her daughter (son-in-law) and grandchildren. As the matriarch, she rarely missed a function and was very supportive. Pauline shared a special bond with her eldest, only grandson and considered him the son she never had. She spent ample time with her childhood sister-friends Beverly, DeVonda, Dorothy, Margaret, Marguerite (Cubby), Patricia, Rolanda (Marie), and ViLenia.
Pauline is preceded in death by her grandmother Clementine Diggs, William (Bill) Jordan (father), Della Mae Diggs-Ramsey (mother), Wesley (Topcat) Ramsey (dad), Mark (Pooky) Diggs Sr. (brother), Mark Diggs Jr. (nephew), Melvin Diggs Jr. (nephew), Kortez (Patches) Jordan (brother), and James Nash (in-law).
Pauline leaves her legacy to daughter Dr. Melissa P. Nash (Ryan), grandchildren DeMario Oliver, Jessenia-Ryya, Jasmine-Rose and MacKenzie Joy Parker Nash. Brothers George Diggs (Kathy) and Melvin Diggs Sr. Siblings Bridgett, Bradley, Rosehella, Kim (Curtis) and Jackie (Jerryl). Her nieces and nephews who simply called her “Ainty”; Marshay, Felicia (Lay), Marquita (Tyrel), Kenneth, Melvin, Jasmyn, Kevin Jr., Marsean, Braiden, Mark III, Makylen and Camyra. As well as a host of other family (in-laws), friends, and special loved ones—Anderson, Bass, Barfield, Golden, Lee, Martin, and Roberson.
