She played Guitar, Bass, Piano and Accordion. Did most vocals, and was an accomplished yodeler, winning top honors in San Diego & North Hollywood, in the early 60s. Her husband Ben who passed away July 8, 2001 was a great support for her talent and her drummer. She wrote words and music to many songs and recorded several locally and in Nashville. She always said I never attended a music school, but my Dad was a great self taught musician who taught a lot of what he knew, and oh how he loved Flats. He would have been really proud of my German Waltz in D Flat. In the 60s & 70s they also owned & operated the Seneca Inn by MeritCare. In the 80s The Shenandoah Supper Club in Davenport, ND. After retirement she entertained in nursing homes, sang in the funeral choir, volunteered at Hospice, visited home bound, and was a communion minister.

RIP Aunt Pauline, my “Putt”!
I’m sorry to hear that Paula has passed away. I’ve only known her for a couple of years, since moving in the condo unit next to hers. First thing she did was to bake us a pecan pie..it was like a slice of heaven. She took a shine to Jeff and would make him liver/onions every now and then. She was always cooking up something to share. She was such a outgoing, funny, kind-hearted lady. She always had an interesting story to tell, not a dull moment with her around. She will be missed by many people. Prayers to your family.
SHE AND BEN WERE JUST WONDERFUL WHEN MOM WAS ILL. THEY BROUGHT DINNER
OVER WHEN MOM WAS UNDER HOSPICE CARE. SHE WAS A VERY GRACIOUS LADY.
NANCY AND I ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. GOD BLESS HER AND WELCOME HER
HOME.
We are very sorry for you loss. We are with in thought and prayers.
We are very sorry for your loss! I loved listening to them play and to hear her yodel was a real treat. I think the last time we watched them play was at the Mandan Moose Lodge and that was a very long time ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
