So sorry Paulette use to babysit me , and we were neighbors . May Gods grace give you peace
I worked with Paulie at the Northside KMart from about 1988 to the closing. She was a such a wonderful person! Rarely a dull moment when she was around. Reconnected with her a couple years ago. Man did I love her!! Fly high Paulie ❤️❤️
So sorry to hear of Paulie’s passing. What a great next door neighbor I had a few years ago. Enjoyed many fun visits with her. Such a nice, kind friend to have. Thoughts & prayers to her family.
I will miss you, Paulette. We always had great times camping, fishing and just being together. Gosh, I miss you so much already. Say hi to everyone in heaven. I’m sure Gary was waiting with open arms.Please remember ‘ I love you’ and softly and tenderly sometime I will see you again. Fly with the angels, Paulie
Making sure everyone had enough.
Took pride in her home and her hospitality was most appreciated.
I first met her at Amber’s home she stopped by to see if Amber wanted to go get nails done with her.
I thought wow Amber’s grandma meme sure gets around well.
Amber and Robert invited to Paulette’s for Christmas Dinner.
Robert said a special surprise for everyone.
He did. Robert had Santa Claus come over and it was so happy and cheerful laughing and receiving handmade Hats Scarves Gloves that Santa knitted himself.
Magical and fun to watch the kids.
Before I left Paulette gave me a set of great quality knives. And of course leftovers from a caring beautiful nonjudgmental kind woman.
I kept asking kids to bring me over to see you and I would have read to you or propped pillows for you to repay you for your kindness and respect to me and because your Amber’s grandma meme.
I am sorry. I said goodbye to you last night.
I am praying for all your family and friends Paulette.

You rest now.
This precious gem will deeply be missed. Polly had a great sense of humor. She had no problems voicing what was on her mind
She could light up the room with her joyous laughter. Let me tell you,
This beautifull lady, she sure knew how to cook.
One thing is certain, i”m going to miss her i am. Those days at the salon drinking a toddy or 2. Talking about all the good things we knew. Some day my friend, we shall meet once again. Until then I will cherish the memory of you being my gracious and loyal friend.
Brian and Dottie…so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing…my deepest condolences are with you at this time…may God watch over you during this difficult time
Grew up less than a half mile from her. Used to ride our horses all over. Rest in Peace.
Brian and Dottie so sorry to hear about your Mom Brian! I graduated with your Mom! She was a great gal! She will be deeply missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
My husband, LeRoy Quatier, and Paulette’s mother, Inez, are first cousins.

Sorry for the loss of your Mom, we became fast friends when our husbands worked together at Cargill. Your Mom was always quick to call and tell me to come and get some rhubarb and we socialized many times. She will be missed.

Paulette and I have been friends for over 50 years meeting in Wishek. We took a cruise to Alaska together which was awesome. I certainly will miss our conversations.
Paulette was more like a sister, to me. I really don’t remember her not being part of my life. Our parent were great friends we lived about 4 miles apart., they butchered, shared hired men to harvest their cropped together,. Our Dad’s fished, hunted and partied together. Paulette babysat me. Later I babysit Shelley and Brain. She also was the first person that at about at age 7 (she was about 14) handed me a cigarette. After we smoked or choked on it she said, if you tell on me, I will tell on you. I never told anyone until today. She truly a lost in my life. Knowing she is with Gray and her folks is where I find comfort.
