Pauline lived and raised her children in Raton, NM for many years until she and John moved to Santa Fe, NM in 1990 to manage the Luxury Inn and retired in 2005. Her health started to deteriorate in 2016 but that never kept her down. She was always laughing, smiling and joking no matter how she was feeling. Pauline was known for her fun, loving and caring nature and always made everyone feel welcomed. She was like a second mom to many and enjoyed spending quality time with her family and friends and always had a delicious meal cooked for everyone to enjoy. Her favorite pastime was listening to music, cooking, dancing, going to the casino, playing on her phone and spending quality time with her great grandchildren that she adored and shared a special bond with Mayeli and Yanisel Ruiz-Montoya. She will be greatly missed by all.

A Rosary will be recited on Friday, August 13, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. at Santa Maria de La Paz located at 11 College Dr. Santa Fe, NM followed by Mass at 10:00 a.m. burial is pending.
