Pauline grew up on the family farm in Randolph, and graduated from Heyworth High School. She moved to Bloomington in 1945 after the death of her husband, Ivan. To support her three young children, she worked as a seamstress at Knight’s Window Shoppe. After marrying Drexel, she worked alongside him in their decorating business.
Pauline was a long-time member of St. Luke Union Church in Bloomington, and appreciated all of her church friends who were like family to her. She was involved in numerous clubs and social organizations, including the Brokaw Hospital Service League, volunteering at the BroMenn Thrift Shop for many years. Something that gave her great joy was taking social dance classes with Drexel, which resulted in many lasting friendships.
Pauline was known for wearing hats, and she had one for every occasion. She was called the "Hat Lady" by many. She also enjoyed belonging to the "Red Hat Society". Pauline was a very proud and strong woman, but she was also a lady with a great sense of humor.
The family would like to thank the Jesus Garcia family, Gwen and Chuck Yurieci, and her many friends for all their kindnesses to Pauline through the years.
Pauline loved her family and enjoyed her life to its fullest. She will be missed by all who knew her.
