    W. Pauline (Green) Connors passed away peacefully on October 18th after a short illness. She was born on December 4, 1916 in Houlton, the daughter of Charles and Ada (Partridge) Green.
    She graduated from Houlton High School Class of 1935 and went on to Houlton Business School for accounting. She married Lloyd T. Connors in Houlton on Friday, November 13, 1936. Mr. and Mrs. Connors lived in Fort Fairfield, Houlton, Grindstone, Medway, and West Seboeis as her husband Lloyd worked for the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. While living in Indian Township, West Seboeis, Pauline was Postmaster for that area. Many neighbors would gather at the Connors for mailings and mail deliveries. After Mr. and Mrs. Connors moved to Bangor in 1972, Pauline worked in the Utilization Review Department and Medical Records at Eastern Maine Medical Center for ten years. After retiring she went on to manage The Damn Yankee gift shop in Brewer and Bangor. She also worked for Country Casuals and assisted in the school cafeterias in the Bangor schools. Her specialties were knitting mittens for the children of family and friends. She enjoyed reading, sharing her mustard pickles, relish, gingerbread, jams and jellies. It was a delight for all to receive her goodies. She would deliver, to the church ladies working on a project, a warm gingerbread for a special treat. She loved driving to see family, going to church and to senior luncheons. Her last driving outing was to All Souls Church luncheon on September 14th.
