iii. Pauline Blanche Perry Silvia was born on 22 Jul 1924 in Akron, OH. She died on 1 Jun 1996 in Reno, NV. Died at her residence in Reno of Heart Failure.

She lived the last 11 years of her life in Reno (the last 9 1/2 of that with son Frank) in the trailer lot next to her sister Blanche. They shared interests in gardening and working outdoors. They were both also known to dabble in roof repair (even though Pauline was afraid of heights). Pauline loved the Cal-neva slots, and played her favorite nickel machines for hours on end.

At a gathering of some of the relatives (Requested by the Minister presiding at the funeral), the following thoughts were expressed.:
Son Frank: "She was a great mother. She was a great cook".
Daughter Dee: "She was always thinking of her Grandchildren. She was always shopping yard-sales for things for the grandkids".
Daughter Betty Lou: "I loved her, and she loved me"
Daughter Pam: "She didn't know a stranger. She talked to everyone"
Sister Blanche: "Pauline was my sister, but she was my friend. I lost a friend.."
She was buried on 6 Jun 1996 in Reno, NV.

Grave 6, Plot 126, Section A

Relatives came from all over the country to attend.
Her son Frank said; "Not quite under a tree, but between two trees..One day she will be under a tree."
At the ceremony to place her ashes in the ground, Sisters Blanche and June sang the THREE LITTLE SISTERS (by the Andrews sisters). This song was always sung by the three sisters as they had each married the "Soldier, Sailor, and Marine" as in the song. They had sung the song thousands of times, but when they got to the part that may have been Pauline's, they both stopped singing and realized they had forgotten the words. I felt that this is because the first of the sisters was now gone....somewhere Aunt Pauline was singing for us all.
