A kind and gentle soul made her way into heaven on September 22, 2017. Pauline was born in New Bern and lived most of her life in this community. She was a loving wife and mother who enjoyed life to the fullest. She married Marion Douglas Cumbo (1932 - 2015) at the age of 16 and later graduated from Jones Central High School. They enjoyed a long happy marriage for over 59 years. They owned and operated Cumbo's Superette for over 20 years serving the needs of local residents. A long time antique dealer, she delighted in finding lost treasures to resale at local venues. She served her family, was an active member of Broad Street Christian Church and helped with Faith Connection.
She enjoyed spending time with all of her family and friends and will surely be missed by all who knew her. Complications from recent surgery led to an unexpected end of a joyful well lived life. Pauline is survived by children Douglas Kennon Cumbo and Paula Cumbo Carrier, grandchildren Nicholas Kennon Cumbo, Caroline Arthur Carrier and Wesley Bradford Carrier. Preceded in death by her brother, Owen Kennon Arthur, Jr.
