Pauline was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She will be remembered for her unwavering support, fiery spirit, and the strength she passed on to those around her. As the Matriarch of her family, she was a source of wisdom and guidance, and her influence will continue to shape their lives for generations to come.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents, Carlos “Charlie” Basquez and Elena “Helen” Rodriquez; her sisters, Adale Johnson, Christine Basquez, Minnie Eastep, and Janie Sordia; and her son, John Robert Steven Curry.
