URBANA – Pauline D. Vulgamore, 100, of St. Paris passed away peacefully Thursday, November 20, 2014, in her home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born July 3, 1914, in Dialton, Ohio, the eighth child of nine. She graduated from Christiansburg Jackson High School in 1932 and was the last surviving member of her class. She was a lifelong resident of Champaign County and a member of Myrtle Tree Baptist Church. Pauline had a zest for life and she loved the outdoors. One of her favorite things to do was cutting firewood. At the age of 92 she fell out of a tree, cutting wood, and had to have 10 stitches in her arm. She was an excellent baker and she will be remembered for her pecan and raspberry pies as well as her home-made noodles. Grandma was a very skilled seamstress; she saved everything and would make rag rugs out of denim for Christmas gifts. She loved her family very much and every family member will cherish the quilt she made for them.
Grandma is survived by her daughter, Judy McGowen; grandchildren, Abby (James ) Cohn, Lidian (Mark) Hatmaker, Mandy (Chris) Randall, Betsy (Steve) Kite, Ed (Becky) McGowen; great-grandchildren, Amy Pauline Randall, Cecilia (Brad) Yelton, Ann Louise (Lee) Sowers, Megan (Aaron) Tatman, Derick, Mitchell and Kyle Hatmaker, Brad (Brandy) Cohn and Isaac Cohn , Elizabeth and R.J. McGowen, Nicklas and Gillian Kite; great-great-grandchildren, Dawson and Brooke Cohn, Isiah, Kirsten and Bentley Hatmaker, Tucker Tatman, Levi Sowers, Russ McGowen Jr., as well as several nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents Murray J. and Sarah (Coffelt) Neese; and her husband Cecil Lowell Vulgamore, whom she married March 14, 1936, and he died December 11, 1984; her siblings, Florence Stapleton, Mary Ellen Eaton, Clara Warren, Phillip and Theodore Neese, Bernice Ayers, Mildred Baker, Rebecca Wert; and a granddaughter, Polly Ann McGowen.
Special thank you to her neighbors for being so loving and helpful over the years: John and Alice Meginnis, Dennis and Donna Curtin, Billy and Robin Hanlin, Tom and Judy O'Brien and a very good friend, Patty Brown.
