Pauline Catherine Wilmes, 95, passed away Monday, in her home in Lake
Havasu City, AZ. She was born December 31, 1920 in Glen Ullin, N.D.,
to Steve and Rose Fischer.

Pauling and her now deceased husband, Wilfird, moved to Lake Havasu

most of her life while raising seven children. She also worked as a
riveter for Boeing during World War II, and owned a small Café in
North Dakota for some time.

Pauline was a loving mother and grandmother, who enjoyed large family
gatherings. She loved playing cards, doing crossword puzzles, and
watching old John Wayne movies. She also loved children, especially
babies, and spent as much time as possible with her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.

California, Jerry (Gladi) Wilmes, of Santa Clarita, California, June
(Larry) Hill, of Kingman, Arizona, Timothy (Rosario) Wilmes, of
Palmdale, California, Cynthia (John) Rafkind, of Canyon Country,
California, Jane (Tony) Jorgensen, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Scott
(Donna) Wilmes, of Lancaster, California; 15 great-grandchildren, one
brother, one sister, and many nieces and nephews.

Memorial Services will be held at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic
Church on Saturday, June 25, at 1:00 p.m. A reception will follow at a
family residence, and there will be a private burial service for the
family the following day.
