Pauline Mary McCommic, beloved wife of Raymond McCommic, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 19, 2022, two days after celebrating her 81st birthday with her family and friends.
Born on May 17, 1941 in St. Agatha, ME, she was one of nine children to the late Wilfred and Bernice (Corriveau) Guerrette. Pauline had a love for cooking, working in the food service profession for many years, retiring as a cook for the Hospital for Special Care after more than 30 years of dedicated service. The consummate hostess, she made sure all who were welcome in her home were greeted with delicious food and good conversation. Pauline was proud of her French heritage, and was a longtime member of the Ladies of St. Ann, where she served many terms as President, and devoted much of her time to the St. Jean Baptiste Society. She enjoyed gardening and had an incredible knack for needlepoint, sharing her intricate and perfectly made masterpieces with her family and friends. The matriarch of her family, she held multiple generations together with her selflessness and love. A social butterfly, with an unforgettable sense of humor and little bit of sass until her final days, she will be missed dearly and forever remembered.
In addition to her husband, Ray, she leaves her children, Brian Pelletier and his wife Darlene, Brenda Hofmann and her husband Jim, Kevin McCommic, Gregory McCommic and Shelley Cap; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her sister Edwina Dube; her brother Milton Guerrette and his wife Pam; and many nieces, nephews and extended family. She was predeceased by her son, Russell Pelletier, two brothers and four sisters.
The family extends their sincerest gratitude to the nurses and staff at Apple Rehab Farmington Valley for the compassionate care shown to Pauline during her four year stay.
