On Jan, 6, 1948, Pauline was united in marriage to Charles Claire Randall at Immaculate Church in Clutier, Iowa. She was a farmer’s wife, and homemaker all her life. Pauline was a founding member of St. Isidore Catholic Church, of which she was active through the years and then becoming the Church Coordinator, planning weddings, funerals, and meals. She was also a member of the Palette Pals painting club, Monday Club, and Prairie Valley Homemakers. Pauline was known as the “Plant lady” and shared her love of gardening by having a plant sale for years; people knew if they got a plant from Pauline, it would flourish and grow. She volunteered countless hours at Springville community events, and enjoyed quilting, gardening, baking, and painting. Pauline will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
