PORTLAND - Pauline Cushing Clough, 84, of 31 Overset Road, Portland, died Tuesday, June 1, 2004 after a brief illness. Her daughter, Ruth Seiders, was at her side when she passed away at Mercy Hospital.
She was born Dec. 23, 1919, and grew up on Munjoy Hill, one of nine children born to Benjamin and Florence Cushing. After graduating from Portland High School, she enrolled at Westbrook Junior College, and transferred to the University of Maine in Orono her junior year, where she met her husband, Charles Henry Clough of West Roxbury, Mass. The couple married in 1942. Mr. Clough died in 1997.
Following her college graduation, she taught school for one year in South Paris.
Mrs. Clough lived most of her life in Falmouth. She and her husband attended the West Falmouth Baptist Church, where she was a member of the choir, a Sunday School teacher, and a deacon. She was active in the S.G. Huston School P.T.A., Girl Scouts, and the Community Chest. She often served as a substitute teacher in Latin and French at Falmouth and Greely High Schools.
She was one of the founders of The Gate, a drop-in center and coffee house for youth in the 1960s and 1970s. She was also involved in prison ministry, she was a patient survey volunteer at Mercy Hospital, and a volunteer visitor at Falmouth By the Sea. In recent years she devoted many hours as a volunteer to The Root Cellar, an inner city ministry, and was recognized several weeks ago with a Lifetime Service award by the organization.
