Laura Pauline Waller, born June 22, 1920, passed away in her sleep on December 15, 2011. Polly was a beautiful soul who was much beloved by family and friends for her generosity and compassion for all living creatures. Although gentle and unassuming, she had a core of strength that supported others in need. Polly was fearless and adventurous, a free spirit who loved life and brightened the day with her ready smile and quick sense of humor. She saw only the best in people and had a kind word for everyone and delighted in doing favors. Polly was born in the Philippines when her father was stationed there as a sanitation officer with the United States Army. She grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she attended West Junior School and Girl's High School and then Millersville College for two years. After marrying Earl Allen Waller, Polly's family became the focus of her life, but she also held various school and church positions and she enjoyed volunteer work with organizations such as the American Lung Association.

Deckard; her stepbrother, Harry Williams; sisters-in-law, Carol Etter, Edith Waller, Edna Williams, Hazel Carlson; and brothers-in-law, Richard Deckard, John Waller, Jim Waller, Ed Waller and Orville Carlson.
