LEWISTON — Gisele “Pauline” St. Pierre, 78, of Turner, died Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 10, at Central Maine Medical Center following a brief illness.

She will be remembered for her love of animals, especially her cat, Solomon. She loved spending time with her family. She enjoyed old movies and was an avid reader. Pauline was compassionate and kind. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh!

She also leaves behind her sister, Jeannette Boutin of Turner, with whom she was very close. She will also be missed and remembered fondly by her nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Maurice St. Pierre; her grandson, Justin Pettengill; two brothers, Gerard and Roland; and a sister, Laurette Veilleux.

The family wishes to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to the nurses on M-1 at Central Maine Medical Center, the staff of Hematology Oncology Associates and Dr. Rausch, as well as Robin Turner of Beacon Hospice for the skilled and compassionate care they gave Pauline throughout her illness.
