Pauline Anderson's Obituary
Pauline (“Mace", “Betty”, “Polly”) Anderson, age 88 of Westlake, passed away September 24, 2021. Loving companion of the late Robert Ries; beloved ex-wife of the late Junior Anderson; devoted mother of Donna Kirk, the late Dana (Bill) Riffle and Carolyn (Erich) Ockuly; step-mother of Denise (Bob) Marko and Debra Ries; cherished grandmother of Christopher Blyler (Milissa Robbins), Jamie Gaddis, Jason Gaddis (Lee Ann Stout), Thomas (Tiffany) Kirk; step-grandmother of Allison (Kevin) Schule, Kimberly Marko, Robert Marko, Lindsey (Jean) Capacetti, Chad Flanick (Ali Blankmeyer) , Daniel Flanick, Aubrey Flanick and Talia Flanick; great-grandmother of Quentin Gaddis, Stacy Kirk, Tatum Kirk, Kadle Gaddis, Keagan Gaddis and TJ Kirk; step-great-grandmother of Eve, Aria and Carlos Capacetti; sister of the late Shirley (Sam) Logwood and the late Della Louise (James) Moore.
Pauline moved from Pulaski, Virginia to Cleveland where she had her three daughters. Their entrances into the world were big surprises for her. She had twin girls (Donna and Dana) when she had only expected to go home with one baby! Six years later her daughter Carolyn also surprised her by coming 3 weeks early and in under an hour. Many years later she was lucky in inheriting two more daughters in Denise and Debi. She enjoyed driving in her car and the gas station was her second home. She will be missed by devoted friends, especially Judy Thomas, and many loving family members throughout Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, October 3, 2021 from 2:30-4:30 PM in the Chapel at Sunset Memorial Park, 6245 Columbia Rd. North Olmsted, where the Memorial Service will begin at 4:30 PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to Brookdale Hospice Cleveland, 3380 Brecksville Rd. Suite 101, Richfield, OH 44286 or Ronald McDonald Family Room at Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital 4th Floor, Room 152, 18101 Lorain Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44111.
