To Jan and family. Sending much love and condolences to you all on the loss of your Mum, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
She was such a lovely, caring lady with a great sense of humour.
Pauline was a much loved and cherished friend of my late mother Mae Wilson and was a constant support when she lost her husband Russell. She maintained close contact Mum right up until her passing 13 years ago.
I have fond memories of Pauline´s time working at the Bonanza Burger Bar. She had a ready smile, enjoyed a chat and liked to give a bit of cheek. She would often make me a free milkshake or add an extra side of fries to my burger order. You knew you had to behave when you were in town or my Mother would get to hear about!
She was also known as the chocolate fish lady to my own children. When she visited Mum she would always bring chocolate fish for my boys.
I know she will be dearly missed. RIP Pauline
Kind regards
Doreen and Paul Waite
