Dear sister and sister-in-law of Gerson and Sandra Safran; and sister-in-law of the late Max and the late Betty Polsky, the late Bennie Polsky, and the late May Polsky. Daughter of the late Sydney and Mona Safran. Special thanks to her angels, Tessie, Trish, Deborah, and Mila, for their compassionate care.  

Pauline was a true woman of valour. For close to thirty years, she and Ruby travelled across Canada in a motor home to visit customers; making meaningful connections along the way. Not one to sit around, Pauline also kept busy with her many hobbies; knitting, copper enameling, and beading, to name a few. An excellent cook and baker, Pauline was a hostess like no other and will be missed by her family, friends, and all those who knew her.
