Pauline J. Wadsworth, known as "Aunt Paul", went to be with her Lord, Saturday, October 24, 2020. Born October 11, 1929, in Victory Hill, she was the daughter of George and Eleanor Leach Johnson, she lived her early years in Crescent Heights, the California area, and Courtney. Her adult life was spent in Monongahela, where she was a poll worker and a member of the Turners Club. From childhood through much of her adult life, she was an active member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church working diligently for the English Tea, the Fish Fry, and the Grocery Bingo. When in later years, she became a member of True Vine Anglican Church, she continued her support of activities such as congratulatory cards when her health allowed. Pauline was a proud Bell Telephone operator for thirty seven years and a giving member of its charity arm, The Pioneers' Club.

Pauline married her childhood sweetheart, Charles Wadsworth in 1949, and that began adventures in traveling, camping, and picnics at every lake and park around. She much enjoyed bingo with her sister-in-law, Carolyn Johnson earning them the "Lucy and Ethel" nickname. Her favorite memories though were of the family gatherings at Thanksgiving, picnics and roasts at her riverfront home. Being with her nieces and nephews was tantamount to her, and she was loving and generous with them. Family and friends will remember the delicious ravioli's (which she learned at Theresa's restaurant, her first employer), the "monkey food" treat bags at Christmas, the pizzelles, and the "oh, so good" peanut butter balls. Her joy was giving.

Aunt Pauline will be sorely missed by her sister, Patricia Mikula; loving caregivers; and niece and nephew, Sandra and Sam Cover; beloved god children, Cindy Johnson (Gerald) Andriechack, Debra Johnson (Terry) Smith, George "Butchie" (Gerry) Johnson, and Edward (Jane) Burzynski; plus in-laws, Betty Crouse, Joe Wadsworth and Gloria Wadsworth. Many nieces and nephews including, James (Ann) Johnson, Mary Mikula Apicella, Jeff, Ed and Dave Mikula, plus many dear friends who are also saddened by her passing.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles in 2015; brother, George Johnson and wife Carolyn; much loved sister and brother-in-law, Edith and Ed Burzynski; brother-in-law, Ed Mikula; and beloved nieces, Jennifer Andriechack Budney and Cathy Mikula Sawi.

The staff and residents at Hallsworth House in Monessen where Pauline lived the last three years showed extraordinary kindness and care to her and will always be remembered by her family. They became part of her family, and she loved them all.

As she wished, there will be no viewing. Family and friends will be invited to a celebration of life memorial ceremony at the True Vine Church as soon as it can safely be done. Burial will be in the Monongahela Cemetery.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Frye Funeral Home Inc., 427 W. Main Street, Monongahela.
