Her servant's heart touched many people as she served alongside her husband Clark at the Sipesville Church of the Brethren and Somerset Historical Society. She was also a member of WCTU, Women's Aglow, and the Sipesville Fire Department Auxiliary. Pauline achieved her goal to become a centenarian and enjoyed a celebration of her 100 years of life well-lived with 150 friends and family. She spent the past 2 years living at the Patriot where residents and staff describe her as a joyful, ornery delight who always brightens their day. One word that could describe Pauline is determined. And with that determination in her faith, she fought the good fight, she finished her course, and she kept the faith: so now she has received the crown of righteousness which the Lord gives to all who love His appearing. (II Timothy 4:7-8) Our thanks and gratitude goes out to the staff of The Patriot and ViaQuest Hospice who cared for her so lovingly. Friends received 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Monday at the Hauger-Zeigler Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Somerset, and one hour prior to the service at the church which will be conducted at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Sipesville Church of the Brethren, Sipesville with Reverends Cecil Lohr and Blair Harshberger officiating.  Interment Sipesville Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Sipesville Church of the Brethren, or Somerset Historical Society. www.haugerzeigler.com
