Pauline married Glenn Greenawalt in 1989. They made their home in Renfrew, PA and she became a stepmom to six children.
She attended the First Nazarene Church in Butler and was devoted to her faith.
She was an affectionate mother and stepmother who always put her children, grandchildren first. She was an excellent conversationalist who had a memory that far surpassed most younger people. Her friends were amazed at how she could recall what was going on in everybody’s life.
Some of her favorite things were a good cup of coffee, tending her violets, watching hummingbirds, and sending as well as receiving greeting cards from family and friends.
Surviving her are three children: Darrell Ballinger, Craig Ballinger (Cathy), and Sonya Koehler (Tim). She leaves behind 6 grandchildren: Chelsea, Scott, Chalyn, Jay, Briana, Paula, 14 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
