A member of Adams High School‘s Pro Merito Society, she held secretarial positions at Sprague Electric in North Adams and as legal secretary for Attorney Leonard Turgeon in Adams. After her children were grown, Pauline became an aide in the Adams-Cheshire Regional School District, a position that she enjoyed for many years.

Pauline, a communicant of the Parish of St. John Paul II, was a prolific and accomplished hand-quilter who made quilts for family members and numerous friends. She could often be seen enjoying the sporting, dance, and theatrical productions of her children and grandchildren. Most recently, her social highlights included meals, games and crafts at the Adams Senior Center. She was also an avid Red Sox Fan!

My thoughts are going out to all of you. Thank you for allowing me to be part of Pauline’s home life the past couple of years. I truly enjoyed her company as much as she enjoyed having someone there to challenge her at Wheel of Fortune. She usually won! I’m going to miss her.

Sniezek family. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Pauline. She and I had a unique friendship that I truly enjoyed. I loved hearing about her life as a young child and growing up with all the changes she witnessed over the years. Only that we could all be blessed with the “sharp as a tack” mind she had until the very end. May your hearts find peace knowing she was finally able to go Home.

Pauline was such a sweet lady. She was my friend for many years as well as my para professional when I taught in the Title I Program. Her quilts were spectacular and I was the beneficiary of many of her cloth scraps. I loved seeing her picture enjoying herself at the many activities offered at the Senior Center. You could always pick her out by her beautiful white hair. She lived a long & active life right up until the end. I will miss her and her comments on my Facebook pictures. My sincere condolences to you all on your loss
