LEWISTON – Pauline J. Morin, 91, of Auburn danced her way to Heaven on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019 at Montello Manor in Lewiston, in the presence of family and visitors from Heaven, in the form of cardinals outside her window.
She was born to Edouard and Laura (Morin) Charpentier on Feb. 5, 1928 in Lewiston. Pauline was educated in the Auburn schools and remained a life long resident of this community.
In her younger years, prior to marriage, she worked in the shoe industry and Beal’s Dry Cleaning. After starting her family she became a homemaker and was involved as a den mother with Cub Scouts and belonged to The Ladies of St. Anne at St. Louis Church of Auburn.
Pauline was passionate about decorating her home for the holidays and cooking for her family. She enjoyed dancing, gardening, making puzzles, reading, word search puzzles and keeping up with “Her” Bruins and Red Sox. Her family always came first, regardless of the sacrifices she needed to make, and she did so without complaint.

Morin; parents; siblings, Roger, Charles, Roland, Jean Paul Charpentier, Carmen Benny, Georgette Davis, and Connie Corkey; son-in-law, Theodore Curran, daughter-in-law, Dr. G. Gloria Giroux; and grandson, Michael Potvin.
