She is survived by one sister-in-law (Vesta Allan), six nephews and nieces, seventeen grand-nieces and nephews, and great-grand nieces and nephews, with whom she shared loving relationships.

Proudly employed for forty-four years with NBTel and Aliant Telephone, she retired in 1981 from a supervisory position in Human Relations. A member of Telephone Pioneers of America, Pauline was secretary-treasurer and past-president of the NB Chapter. She served on Boards of the Victorian Order of Nurses and West Side Food Bank.
