Pauline was a member of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church and The Christian Mothers.
An avid reader, she spent a lot of time at the Uniontown Library. She was a wonderful cook and took great pride in teaching her granddaughters the secrets of her wonderful, favorite dishes.
Pauline will be remembered as a kind and gentle woman. She took pride in being a good wife, good mother and grandmother, and most of all took pride in being a great-grandmother of five.
She is survived by her loving son, Stanley A. Koosher and wife, Pat of Uniontown; her devoted grandchildren, who affectionately called her “Gram”, Lynn A. Clingan and husband, Douglas of Uniontown, Scott A. Koosher of Uniontown, and Nancy L. Kezmarsky and husband, Stephen of Uniontown. She was known as “Gigi” and loved dearly by the following great-grandchildren, Steven A. Kezmarsky, Zachary Douglas Clingan, Alexa Lee Kezmarsky, Shelby Lynn Clingan and Christian Amadee Kezmarsky.

KEZMARSKY III FUNERAL HOME, AT 71 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., UNIONTOWN, on Friday evening, Oct. 17, 2003, from 7 to 9 p.m., and Saturday morning when a Blessing Service will be held, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at a time to be announced in St. John the Evangelist R.C. Church, with the Rev. Fr. William J. Kiel as celebrant. Interment follows in St. Joseph Church Cemetery, Hopwood, Pa. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Uniontown Public Library in Pauline’s honor.
“A Beautiful Life that came to an end, she died as she lived, everyone’s friend. In our hearts, a memory will always be kept of one that we loved and will never forget.”
