Mrs. Redus passed away July 5, 2017 at her residence.
Pauline was born July 27, 1925 in Hicksbaugh, TX to Reverend Dave K. and Pearlie Martin and was a lifelong resident of this area. She grew up in the East Village Mills and Martin families area, at Hicksbaugh Rd. and Gore Store Rd. She taught quilting classes at her home church, Big Thicket Baptist. She also did volunteer work at Kountze Nursing Home and “in her day” was an avid fisherman on Hickory Creek. Pauline lived off of and enjoyed gardening and loved maintaining flower beds. She taught all of us all she could about farm life and raising livestock. Our memories and reflections go on and on.

Martin Jr., Ben Martin, John Martin; sisters Iva Walters, Annie B. Freeman, and Ellen Holland.

Pauline will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
