She leaves behind a legacy of love and fond memories with her cousins, Cathy Robertson, Eileen Gaffney, Joanne Gaffney, Thomas Gaffney, Jeanne Firuta, and her dear friend Thomas J. Siso, Sr. Pauline's passing marks the end of an era, but her spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
