Pauline (St. Pierre) Gallant, 91, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2022 after a long brave battle with dementia.
Pauline was born and raised in Lawrence, MA on January 4, 1931. She was the youngest of five children to the late Valmore and Amanda St. Pierre of Canada. Pauline attended Sacred Heart High School and graduated in 1949. She worked at Lucent Technologies until she retired in the mid-1990s.
Pauline loved her family and pets. She dedicated her life to her three children. She enjoyed cooking and baking, especially during the holidays. In her younger years, she enjoyed singing and playing the piano for her children. Pauline also loved to ski and play tennis with her late husband. Pauline was a devout Catholic and a life-long member of Sacred Hearts Church in Lawrence until it closed. She believed in the power of helping others, and would knit baby blankets and outfits, and take them to Lawrence General Hospital for newborns with parents who were less fortunate. After retirement, Pauline enjoyed having her grandkids over where she would cook for them and play cards.
Pauline will be happily reunited with her parents, her late husband Bill, who passed away in 1964, and her four siblings, Therese, Kim, Marcelle and Emile.
Pauline is survived by her loving daughters, Anne (Gallant) Anderson and her husband Raymond of Lawrence, MA, Denise Gallant of Farmingdale, ME, and loving son Peter Gallant of Woolwich, ME., her six grandchildren Rachel, David, Michael, Stephen, Jeannine and Keith, her eight great-grandchildren, Conrad, Carolina, Catherine, Henry, William, Julyanna, Nicky, and Cash Michael, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
