In loving memory of the late Emily Margaret Pauline Graves 'Pauline' who sadly passed away on 13th August 2014.
Born in Durban, South Africa, she married Stanley Francis Graves after he returned from fighting with the Allied forces in WWII, in Italy.
Between them they had four children, nine grandchildren, and to date 5 great-grandchildren, with another two on the way.
She has also lived in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and the UK. She has worked as a secretary, nursery school teacher, librarian and for an animal rescue charity.
She loved to sew, knit and garden; wherever she has lived he has started a garden and grown her own vegetables.
She loved to read, novels, non-fiction and poetry.
In character she was forthright, devoted to family, determined and well-informed. She had an irreverent sense of humour, and loved music, especially from the forties and fifties.
