Pauline was my sister 2 years older. Having just attended her funeral service I am reminded of what an extra special person she was. She was described as quirky, different, fashionable, a wonderful teacher and many other amazing things. Many of the young children taught by Pauline have credited their adult love of poetry, books and music to her. I am proud to have had her as my sister. Love Robyn

I've known Pauline since I was 8. From being directed by her in the Choir both during practice and trips (I didn't make it easy for her!) to getting Piano lessons from her as an adult and listening to her play piano so beautifully in my home.

Pauline was always kind, intelligent, dedicated, and oh so funny. I'm so very sad that I haven't seen her since 2019 when I moved away from Westport and I send so much love to her family and friends who I am sure are hurting so deeply.

Playing piano for the Lord - not goodbye, but see you when we get there x

Shocked and saddened to hear of Pauline“s passing! We were high school friends, I was her bridesmaid and she was my Matron of Honour. We lost touch over the years but reconnected through Facebook and 4 years ago we saw each other after 35 odd years in Westport.
My sincere and deepest condolences to the family, a very sad loss. RIP Pauline.
