Pauline Toombs
February 12, 1915 — July 10, 2007
Pauline Toombs died Tuesday July 10 at United Hospital in St. Paul. She was a life long resident of St. Paul. She was born February 12, 1915, the daughter of John and Pauline (Raba) Boldizar in St. Paul.
The following is written by Pauline's grandchildren:
Our Grandma was a kind and gentle woman who lived life
to the fullest. She was also very compassionate and
lived her life with integrity and humility. Trates
we all could learn and live from. Her family was the most
important part of her life. She worked very hard
raising her children and being the best grandmother
anyone could ask for. We will always remember the
time we spent with her. She was the most hospitable
person we knew. When we visited her we always had fun
and were very well fed. When you visited you knew you
were loved and you weren't leaving without handful of
kisses and hugs and You were definitely not leaving
without something to eat and bag of goodies for the
road. She was a great cook and her menu included her
famous Hungarian Goulash and pigs in the blanket. She
also was a great baker and made more cakes, cookies,
and bars than "BAKERS SQUARE." We must not forget her
very fun and famous Thanksgiving and Holiday
specialty "BROKEN GLASS JELLO", which was a mix of
different colors of thin jello mixed on top of one
another that resembled broken glass but looked good
and tasted even better.
I remember grandma was always doing something and when
we came to her door we always would say "youuuuuu
hoooooooo", and she would always say " youuuuuuu
hooooooo" back as a funny family greeting, She was
hard of hearing so when said our fun family greeting
which was high pitched, she was able to hear our greeting. She was a very hard working, dedicated and faithful
co-worker for a company named Ideal Security. She
remained great friends with the people she worked
with long after she had retired. She had an
especially good relationship with her foreman.
Her goodness and kindness drew her many life long friends.
She was the most faithful person I knew and was a
long time member of Faith Lutheran Church in Saint
Paul. As it is written in the bible we are complete
in Christ, adn she was complete in Christ and her life
was a reflection of her trust in the Lord. She was
very giving, and continually thankful for any return gesture
of kindness. As her body grew weak and having endured
the untimely death of her only son and oldest daughter
she continued to be strong in the faith. We are
thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ for the saint we
knew as Pauline. She was comforted by the promises of
Christ and the knowledge that she would spend eternity
with our Lord. We as believers look forward to
spending eternity with our Lord and our sister in
faith. We will miss our precious mother, grandmother,
great grandmother, great great grandmother and
friend.
She passed away shortly after a long visit
with her family. In the last weeks of her life she
was surrounded by the people who cared for her most.
We love you and look forward to spending eternity with
you.
