Pauline was a lifelong resident of Aquidneck Island, proud to call Newport home for so many years. She graduated from Rogers High School and began a life full of love, family and wonderful friends, but also persevered through a few health challenges, and along the way, a few (hundred) books were read. Over the years she operated her own business with a friend, a cleaning service called "Dust Bunny Busters", among a few other ventures. One of her favorite jobs was at the former Waldenbooks in Newport. Most recently she enjoyed several years working in several different capacities in Federal Civil Service at the Navy Base.
