Resident of Aptos

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Ruby 'Pauline' Bolger on September 17th. At the time of her death she filled the hospital room with her loving family.

Pauline spent all of her life being called by her middle name until a month ago when the hospital and medical staff referred to her as Ruby. To say confusion reigned would be an understatement.

Pauline was born in Phoenix, Arizona and spent her youth moving between Arizona and California every year.

Her father was Paul Franklin Myers and her mother was Ruby Jane Myers. Her parents finally settled down in California during her freshman year of high school where she spent four years attending Lynwood high school.

She says that her main accomplishment during her senior year in school was meeting her future husband who she was married to for 66 years.

Pauline will be greatly missed by her loving husband, Wayne, her 5 children, Deborah, Jon, Steven, Karen, Dawn, her 10 grandchildren, and of course those 16 great grandchildren. Her one final wish was to finally meet two of her newest born great grandchildren and that happened two days before her passing.

Pauline considered her loving family as her greatest accomplishment in life. She will be missed by everyone.

A Funeral Ceremony will take place at Resurrection Church in Aptos on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at 1pm. A Committal Service will follow at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cemetery.
