Survivors include one son, Paul Turmenne and wife, Billie, of Huntsville, Ala.; two daughters, Connie Slowey and husband, Tom, of Bourne, Mass., and Dee Dion and Dan Briggs of Lewiston; five grandchildren, Michelle Parker and Sabrina Richmond of Texas, Suzanne Kilgore of Idaho, as well as Robert Dion of Lewiston, and Courtney Dion of North Carolina; and four great-grandchildren.

Besides her husband, she was predeceased by two brothers, Raymond and Maurice.

The family would also like to thank the staff at Clover Health Care and Androscoggin Hospice for such wonderful care of Pauline during her illness.
