Pauline R. Poulin

AUGUSTA – Pauline R. Poulin, 91, formerly of Winslow. It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Pauline on June 6, 2025. Pauline was born on September 25, 1933, to Albert R. Ruel and Edwina S. Ruel (Siviski). She graduated from Winslow High School, class of 1951. On May 31, 1954, she married Richard O. Poulin, together they had two sons, David R. Poulin and Daniel A. Poulin, making Winslow their home. Pauline worked at Sears and Roebuck for many years and Scott Paper Co. until her retirement.

Pauline was an avid supporter of her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, be it sports or academics. Her family meant the world to her, she enjoyed traveling, especially with her sons and grandchildren.

She was predeceased by both her parents, husband Richard O. Poulin, and son David R. Poulin.

Pauline is survived by her son Daniel with his wife Lori of South China; granddaughter Beth J. Poulin of South China; grandson Brian D. Poulin with wife Kate of Winslow; great-grandchildren Bella J. Lefferts and Sophie G. Lefferts of South China, Bradley D. Poulin, and Sydney M. Poulin and Emma L. Poulin of Winslow.

A special thank you for the wonderful care from Maine Veterans Home – Augusta and Beacon Hospice.

Per her request, she will be cremated with no public funeral. There will be a private interment at

the Maine Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery, 163 Mt. Vernon Rd., Augusta.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of Somerset Valley Remembrance Center.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Pauline’s name to: The Maine Veterans Home or
