Iam sorry to hear of Pauline’s passing. I worked for her and Ray
for 6 years.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Crider McCarter
Pauline and Family, It was such a wonderful honor to be able to take care of Pauline. She was like a mother to me and I will always hold a special place in my heart for her. She called me her daughter and to me that was the greatest gift coming from someone who had a heart of gold. We shared so much of our lives together and I’m not sure who was taking care of who. God brought us together for a reason to bring joy into each others lives for at least 4 1/2 years. I will always remember our morning hugs and her love pats. I am honored to have been loved by you Pauline. Love, Tammy Barker and Family
We would like to express our deepest condolences to Pauline’s family. She was such a wonderful woman. We always enjoyed seeing her name on the schedule. She was one of our most prized patients. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
Sincerely
Dear Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Pauline. She was such a beautiful person and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you.

Pauline was a very important part of our lives growing up. Our mother, Anita McFee, worked for Ray. She was a beautiful person and will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Pauline’s family…when I was little and we went up to NC, Pauline was one of my mom’s best friends and Pauline let me spend the night at her house. I thought it was SUCH a cool living room, modern, with silk pillows that had tassels! Pauline was beautiful inside and out, and I will miss her greatly.We need more like her in the world.
I was so sorry to learn of Puline’s Passing. Pauline and Ray gave me my first job at Winners Salon of Beauty. She was so beautiful and kind and set such a wonderful example for a young girl and her first job.. She wil be greatly missed by her family and many friends. May God bless each of you.
Dear Judy and Family members. Words cannot express the deep sadness I feel in losing Pauline.
I have known and loved her for nearly 60 years . I married a Floridian and moved to Tampa.
She bought herself a Mustang and learned to drive in order to come to St. Petersburg ,Fla. to work through the winters . She even drove by herself all the way down which took a lot of courage in those days . She spent most every weekend with us in Tampa.
When Ray married her ( Mainly to keep her in N.C. working all year ) ,we didn’t lose touch with each other.
We visited back and forth and became fast friends forever.She discovered my daughter’s first tooth and said it was her responsibility to buy her first bonnet.Which I have kept.
There was never a sweeter or more generous person . I loved her dearly and a hole is left in my heart.
You have my deepest sympathy.
Margie (and Bill) Eagan
