Starting in 1977, Jerry and Pauline went south to Mesa for the winters. Jerry passed away June 4, 1998. In 2014, Pauline moved from Kingsley to Sioux City to reside at Bickford Cottage Assisted Living.

Pauline was a member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Kingsley, where she was an Eucharistic minister and Lector. She loved quilting and crocheting as well as her flowers. She was always up for a card game and ice cream social.
