Pauline graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1968 and received her RN (registered nurse) degree at Weber State University.
She married Joseph Sturdy III in 1971 and they lived together in the Salt Lake Valley UT and traveled to Kendrick ID, where they build their dream home, until she passed away. Pauline is survived by her husband, 5 children (Jody and Ryan O’Connor, Michelle Sturdy and Jason

brother Jeffery Dearing and parents Wayne and Eda Dearing.
She had many hobbies such as quilting, golfing, reading, skiing to name a few. Pauline deeply loved and adored her grandchildren. Her heart however had the generosity, energy and love to welcome and care for all who knew her. She was often described as “their rock” for many going
through hard times. She loved service and filled many church callings and was a Temple worker for 17 years at the Jordan River and Draper Temples. If you were sick she would call, bring you food or take you to lunch. She loved taking care of everyone she knew. When you were her friend you were family. She is greatly missed.

Knew Pauline very well while I was employed at the prison for many years. She was very amiable but at the same time all business - no nonsense in her responsibilities. Sad to know she has passed on.
