It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend, Pauline. Pauline passed away peacefully on May 11, 2023 at Margaret’s Place. She was surrounded by family and friends. Predeceased by her son, Brian, she leaves behind her loving husband, Stephen, her son, Jason (Jane), and her beautiful granddaughters, Emma and Brie. Pauline lost her courageous battle with cancer after a year and half. Prior to her illness, Pauline led a long and successful career as a physiotherapist, helping countless people recover from injuries, accidents, and illnesses. Despite her dedication to her patients and profession, family always came first. She made sure that her boys were provided with every opportunity in life to succeed. Pauline enjoyed travelling with her husband and friends, gardening, cooking, walking, and volunteering. She also loved looking after and spoiling Molly, the portuguese water dog. She always made time for friends and family, most of whom will remember her elaborate dinners and gatherings including delicious apple pies and endless Christmas baking. Pauline always put others before herself. She will forever be missed.

We would like to extend our special thanks to the staff and volunteers at Margaret’s Place, Dr. Anne Boyle, Dr. Raj Hanmiah, Dr. Ros Juergens, Dr. Michela Febbraro, Dr. John Agzarian, Dr. Min Yang, and the countless other healthcare professionals at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton and the Juravinski Cancer Centre for their dedication, kindness, and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Pauline to Hospice Care at Margaret’s Place (St. Joseph’s Villa Foundation) or the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation (Hamilton Health Sciences).
