Pauline Sturgess Obituary

So sorry to only just hear of Pauline's death. She was a very special friend through our mutual activity in politics and Wellington Park, and we are sad that we could not attend her funeral. We would be pleased to circulate her many friends with details if there is a memorial service at some future date. Adrian and Hazel Prior-Sankey [email protected]

I only found out today that Pauline had died earlier this month. She had been a good friend over the years and I met her through the Liberal Democrats where she was proud to be the local President and we attended many conferences together. It is such a shame that we were unaware of her funeral as I'm sure that many friends would have been in attendance. I send my condolences to her family. I know how much they meant to her, especially the younger members.

Pauline was my great grandma, she was really great and will be greatly missed. I have lots of great memories with her even as she got older she was all ways as exited to see us, as I was to see her. When I was younger she used to come on holiday with us all the time and when we went down to see her she would always make us boxes of snacks for the way home, I remember how exited I used to be to see what she got me each time. Great mama was always an inspiration to me, she was always doing something for someone, whether that was helping in her local community or with the Samaritans.
Her work was greatly appreciated by everyone around her she was like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day, always able to cheer someone up, she was a great listener.
I loved listening to her story´s, as someone who grew up in the war she had many great memories to share with me.
Thank you great mama
You will forever be missed and never ever be forgotten,
Love Cora x

Pauline was my nan and the great gran to my two children Cora and Freddie. She was a huge part of my life and a huge part of Cora and Freddie´s life and she will be hugely missed. i can imagine her not being part of my life and it´s left a hole as she has just always been there
When her health was good we would take her on holiday every year with us we have so many nice memories.
it was sad to see no one at her funeral i suppose that´s what happens when you live such a long life. She had a great life and enjoyed all but the most recent years. she put so much in to helping people with her tireless work for the liberal democrats over 50 years as well as years with the samaritans and friends of her local park in wellington.
she was a fiercely active and independent women who i had so much respect for, i will so dearly miss going to wellington to see her
i am so glad that the last time i really saw her was to take her for a pint on Christmas day at her local pub, she loved a nice ale did my nan

will always miss you Nan and never forget you
