So many memories of our families together through school and girls brigade and our parents coach holidays . Such a lovely lady and a good friend to my mom. Paulone will be missed by so many people.

We were so sorry to hear of Paulines passing. Such a lovely soul who will be dearly missed by all that knew her. Thinking of all the family at this sad time, Anne & Mike.

You showed so much love to my boys and my grandchildren, you always will be there Aunty Pauline. I can't put all our memories down, but thank you for standing by my side and loving me unconditionally. You was my second mum, Now I have to live without you, and its so hard. No text or call. You told me to be brave and I will try my hardest,you will always be right by my side. Threw the rest of my life. Till we meet again. RIP my Angel love always tracey and steve 💔

Aunty Pauline was a huge part of my childhood. Taking us into her home when my mom was in hospital. Taking me to girls brigade and even letting my mom sneak out whilst keeping me busy until I realised she’d gone and would cry until she came back. She was always there for everyone, family, friends and strangers. Have some wonderful memories of Aunty Pauline. Will cherish every single one of them. RIP you will never be forgotten.

I’ve been so saddened by the news of Pauline’s passing. After my own mum passed away my sibling and I moved in with my Dad on Albert Street. I don’t have many memories of this time but one of my best memories is how much Pauline made us feel like family. We would walk from Wollescote Primary school to Pauline’s afterschool. She would make us dinner and we’d sit with Poppy watching TV until dad was home. My favorite was when Poppy would hide her head between the couch cushion, with her bum in the air and Pauline would tell us that if she couldn’t see us, we couldn’t see her. Even when we were playing out in the street, or Cricket with David in front of her house, she was always watching out for all of the kids on Albert Street. Even almost 30 years later, and 5000 miles apart she still loved and cheered me on and even my own children and husband who will never have the pleasure of meeting such an incredible woman. We were all her “Grandbabies” That’s who she was, she loved everyone, nurtured everyone, cheered for everyone and looked out for everyone. You will be missed by so many who loved you Pauline. The world is a little less bright without your presence. R.I.P. Pauline, love you.

Will miss you my dear sister in law,,RIP fly high my angel xx

Pauline was a fantastic lady she always ordered out my Avon books even when there was nothing in there. My son callum looked as her as a nan figure callum always loved going to Pauline's with the Avon and Halloween because she took the time to chat with him. She will always be remembered and never forgotten rip Pauline x

Pauline was so welcoming when I moved to Albert Street a few years ago. Such a lovely lady, very caring and attentive. Her and Ken made the transition so much easier, having such nice neighbours. Rest in peace Pauline xxx
