Pauline’s life was a gift to all who knew her. We will always remember her beauty, her gentle and selfless spirit, and her devotion to her family and her faith. She was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Pauline also touched many in her roles as a volunteer hospital chaplain, Sunday school teacher, community volunteer and early childhood teacher.
Pauline was born Oct. 4, 1929, in Trinity to Gladys Dunnam and John William McCoy. She was the eldest daughter in a family of 10 children. Pauline met and married her best friend, Leslie Green, in 1952. Pauline shared fully in Leslie’s ministry as he pastored several Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregations in Australia and Texas, including Boulevard Christian Church (now Rockwood Christian Church) in Fort Worth (1970-1975).
Pauline attended college at Texas Christian University early in her marriage, but did not finish her degree until many years later. At the age of 58, she enrolled at Texas A&M University at Texarkana and completed her education degree, graduating cum laude.
Survivors: Her husband; their wonderful children, Rod, Steven, David and Kathy; and grandchildren, Harrison and Charlie Green, Zoe Green and Katie and Grace Golson.
