Pauline lived in Texas since 1968 and was proud to call Texas her home. Pauline was the spiritual matriarch of our family. Her devotion to family was shown through her daily walk and relationship with Jesus Christ; this in conjunction with her “prayer warrior” personality made her the unique, uncompromising woman of God that she was. Her personal passion was for children as told by the many classes and activities she conducted through church and community groups the majority of her life. She was most recently involved with the children’s church and bus ministry as a member of the New Beginnings Church in Brownwood.
She also served as a Chaplin with the Christian Fellowship Ministries International and worked in the local nursing home ministry. Pauline and her husband Jim had been the Pastors at Grand Old Gospel Lighthouse Church in Clifton, TX, and Pentecostal Church of God in DeLeon, Texas.
