With deep sorrow we announce that Pauline Ada Docksteader (nee Braben) slipped away peacefully on July 15, 2012.

She was born on July 10, 1930 in Cadomin, Alberta and later moved with her parents Phyllis and John and three younger sisters to Haney (now Maple Ridge), B.C. Pauline married Don in 1948 and they started a family. In 1958 her family of four moved to the Deadman Vidette Valley near Savona, B.C., where they became cattle ranchers.

She was an extremely hardworking ranch wife for the next 30 years, and yet she always made time for religious worship - driving all the way to Kamloops to meet with fellow believers. In later years she loved travelling during the winter, visiting friends in Texas, and family in the Dominican Republic. Whether travelling or at home, Pauline focused on the needs of others, often sharing her religious convictions. Her love of life and generous heart had an effect on many. She could always be counted on for whatever was needed.

Pauline was predeceased by her husband Don, daughter Florrie, sisters June and Georgine.

Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories are: her sister Diane, her son Dan (Carol), her grandchildren Karla (Colin), Ryan (Kenia), Kazia (Darin), Reagan, Donovan; Jenn (Tyler), Ben (Jess), Hayley, Donald (Sheona), and her great grandchildren Dylan and Marshall; Gabe and Layne; Kiara and Ethan; and Lily. She is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends who will also cherish their memories of her.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, July 21st at 2:00 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1985 Curlew Road, followed by a tea.

The family would like to sincerely thank all of the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for how wonderfully they took care of Pauline.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home.
