Ruby Tuesday...Goodbye to our oldest cousin.

I was hoping the first Ruby Tuesday story and post would be adding a birth to the family genealogy record, but it looks like it is an obituary instead.


I was getting ready for work and checked Facebook and our cousin Barb Lindemer (Aunt Lulu's grand daughter) had posted that Pauline Sirois had passed away on Sunday and the visitation was happening in one hour.

Pauline Sirois, 98, of Lake Village, passed away Sunday, May 27, 2012 at Lowell Health Care Center. 

She is survived by daughter, Carolyn Brownfield of Morocco, grandchildren, Kirby (Kelly) Brownfield of Mishawaka, Kim (Tina) Brownfield, Otterbein and Kerry (Terrie) Brownfield, Morocco, 9 great grandchildren and 8 great-great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by husband Bertram "Jack".
Visitation will be Tuesday, May 29, 2012, from 1-2 at Sheets Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 604 E. Commercial Ave. in Lowell with Graveside Services following at 2:30 at Lake Village Cemetery. 

I'm sad I was not able to attend. Thank you Janet for representing the Vandercars.

Pauline was Dad's first cousin. 
She is related to us on the Vandercar/Tilton side.


She was the first born of Aunt Lulu (Vandercar) and Uncle Fay Tilton.


She was one of those cousins that were related to us twice over...meaning she was a cousin to us on the Vandercar side and the Tilton side.


I know, Dave, confusing, right? See me, and I will draw you a picture.


Pauline LOVED to talk and tell stories.
If you closed your eyes and listened to her, you would swear that it was Aunt Lulu talking. They had the same unique high-pitched sing-songy voice.


She was our oldest cousin on Dad's side of the family.


Oh, the stories that flew away with her!

Til we meet again, Pauline...
