Pauline Stafford

Pauline Stafford, age 91, of Hazel Green, passed away Wednesday morning at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Pauline was a Christian woman who attended church at Taft Full Gospel Church. She especially enjoyed attending singings at the church. You could always find her bible close to where she slept as she would read Gods word every night.
