SOUTHPORT — Pauline Elizabeth Buck Krish, 94, formerly of Easton, Massachusetts, died Thursday, Oct. 10, 2019. She was born June 24, 1925, in Brockton, Massachusetts, the daughter of Willis G. Buck and Mildred (Marble) Buck.
She married John Charles Krish April 18, 1953, in North Easton, Massachusetts. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Laura Nolan and Martha Tufts; brother, Ronald Buck; and daughter, Gretchen Randall.
She is survived by her husband of 66 years, John Krish; children, Jennifer (Dan) Moore, Michael (Renata) Krish and Andrew (Karen Macrine) Krish; 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Pauline grew up in Easton, Massachusetts, and graduated from Framingham College in 1947. Her career took her from Easton to Connecticut and to New York where she met her husband John. There they began married life together in Mount Vernon, New York. She continued to be a dedicated homemaker and mother while they lived there and in Hartsdale, New York. Later, when her children were older and after a move to Dutchess County, New York, she resumed her teaching in Red Hook and returned to the home economics classroom until her retirement in 1985. During the early retirement years, she and her husband spent time traveling together, moving to Virginia, and then to Southport, where she lived for 21 years.
Those who knew her, knew that few things in this world brought her more joy than an orderly house and her sewing projects. Her home and family members have been benefactors of her handiwork over many years. This provided her with countless hours of enjoyment. A woman of faith, she was active in her church until recent years. She also enjoyed playing the piano and gardening. She was a 4-H leader, and also a member of BPW and Delta Kappa Gamma. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
A time of visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m, Monday, Oct. 14, at Peacock-Newnam & White Funeral Home. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Southport Presbyterian Church. Committal services will be held at noon, Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Coastal Carolina State Veteran’s Cemetery in Jacksonville.
