Predeceased by her siblings Maurice Wolman, and Georgette Migicovsky (Bernard); and by her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Sylvia and Jack Arron, Phyllis and George Leebosh. Pauline will be profoundly missed by her many nieces, nephews, extended family, and close circle of friends. 

Special thanks to Tania Wright for her devotion, kindness, friendship, and so much more. Pauline loved you like a member of her family. Much gratitude also to Pauline‘s remarkable extended Caregiver team: Natalya, Daljeet, Judith, Carole, Genet, and Sabrina. All of you cared for Pauline with extraordinary dedication, compassion and love.

Pauline was a woman of quiet elegance with a core of remarkable strength, courage, pragmatism, and wisdom. She had a lifelong love of the arts and culture and was creative and artistic herself, with a deep appreciation and an instinctive eye for beauty.
