Pauline E. Tresso

Please accept my deepest sympathy at the passing of Pauline. I lived across the street from her and Mike when I was a little girl growing up in the 1950's and remember her (and Mike) fondly. She was a special woman who lived a long life and gave so much to others.

When I was around 8 yrs old my mom told me I would be going with Mrs. Tresso to the mother/daughter banquet @ church.I wanted to play instead but my mom insisted as Pauline didn't have any children.I cried all the way to Pauline's house where I showed up at her doorstep with wet eyes & a runny nose.Pauline was so kind,getting a beautiful cloth handerchief & drying my tears.We walked down to church,she with a smile & me still

My condolences to her family. Sincerely, Shelly Rieck

We are so sorry for your loss. We are not able to attend the services but you will remain in our thoughts and prayers

We knew Pauline from attending Woodside UMC where Pauline was a great ambassabor for the church; always making visitors and newcomers feel welcome. She had a great sense of humor and we teased and joked often. She was a special lady who will be fondly remembered.

I remember Pauline at many New Year's Eve parties at Uncle Andy's home and at many Homa Reunions. She was a very kind lady.

I appreciated Pauline's support and unique personality. She was one of a kind and brought joy, comfort and concern to so many folks.

Aunt Pauline will be remembered fondly by all of our family. She was a very thoughtful and charitable person who had a fantastic memory of people and events such as birthdays, marriages, and relationships. Aunt Pauline was a wonderful friend of her sister-in-law Mary Tresso Homa (Andy's Mother). Mom appreciated her help and companionship especially in Mom's later years when her mobiltiy was dimished. Aunt Pauline really liked attending our Homa family reunions and was loved by all our family who will miss her very much.

I will always remember Pauline as my first Sunday School teacher. She, along with my parents, Bob & Evelyn Reid were charter members of Woodside church. I also recall being the first acolyte at Woodside with candle lighters and robes donated by Mike & Pauline. I think Pauline picked me especially to be the first to use these. She was a very special lady and will always be remembered by many. Bill Reid
