In her leisure, Pauline enjoyed her membership at The Elwood Lodge #338, playing Bingo, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

In addition to her parents, Pauline was preceded in death by her siblings: Odell Lilly, Theodore Lilly, Benjamin Lilly, Chester Lilly, Bernice L. Moses and Shirley Foster; her special friend and companion for over thirty- four (34) years, George Hyatt, Jr.
