Pauline Marian Ball passed away peacefully on December 3, 2013 at Pleasant Valley Infirmary where she resided.

She was born in London, England on January 4, 1936, to the late Margret Perry of Greenock, Scotland. Due to her mother’s war efforts she was raised by her beloved grandmother Perry, until the age of 7, when she was reunited with her mother.

Pauline grew up in Greenock where she worked in a pharmacy after graduation. It was there she met Rene Neveu. Pauline then came to the United States in 1953 and in 1954 and married Rene of Manchester, NH. She enjoyed working at LaValleys Garden, swimming at Nutts Pond, drive-in movies, reading and relaxing at Hampton Beach whenever possible.

She loved Dark Shadows and the Twilight Zone and her favorite author was Alfred Hitchcock. As an avid animal lover, she adopted every stray she found, raising everything from cats and dogs to goats and chickens. Fishing, camping, and bike riding were her summer hobbies. Her passion was knitting and crocheting. She was a talented artist and loved to work in crayons, pencil, and oil paints. Pauline loved all genres of music from Doris Day to ZZ top and Mitch Miller was one of her favorites.

Pauline was blessed with ten children with Rene before their marriage ended. After moving to North Creek, NY, she married Herbert Ball. Pauline worked at Adirondack Tri County Nursing home for many years on the 11-7 shift. She was loved by many.

She is predeceased by both husbands, Rene Neveu and Herbert Ball. Pauline is survived by her ten children; Marian Royal (NH), Rene Neveu II (NH), Cheryl Neveu (VT), Sandra Christian (NY), Joan Sargent (NH), Jane Crane (NH), Elizabeth Neveu (NH), Patricia Steffen (NY), Joseph Neveu (NH), Michael Neveu (NH), and their spouses as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
