My aunt, Pauline Stark of Randolph VT passed away yesterday. The last time I saw her was at my mom's funeral 7 years ago. (that's her between my aunt Barbara and my Aunt Betty in the top photo.) And she is sitting at the far right on the bottom photo.
Aunt Pauline was a funny lady. Had a good sense of humor. My mom liked her a lot. I don't remember the reason, but when I was a little girl, my cousins Caroline, Brenda and Albert came to live with us for awhile. A couple of months. Albert was just a tiny baby - only a couple months old. I remember Brenda used to wet the bed and my mom used to get so mad at her.
My aunt Polly had something wrong with her tongue. My entire life, she talked a little bit strange because she had a bunch or growth on her tongue. They couldn't cut it off because she would bleed to death. I don't know what caused it but it was something she lived with most of her life.
Aunt Polly had a lot of husbands. I lost count but I think she was married at least 4 times and possibly 6.
She just didn't pick em very good.
She had a lot of kids too. Wayne, Caroline, Brenda, Christine, Albert and Doreen. And I think they all had different dads too..... hence the many husbands.
But, aunt Polly was a good person. I remember going to visit her and listening to her and my mom laugh and laugh and laugh in the kitchen while we kids played in the other room. I remember I felt like her house was haunted. And I scared the crud out of Caroline and Brenda saying I saw a ghost in their bedroom.
Anyhow, she passed peacefully yesterday and has gone on to a big family reunion with grandma, grandpa, mom, uncle Ed, aunt Joyce, uncle David and many others.
RIP aunt Polly.
