Mrs. Pauline Connolly
August 2, 1946 – February 28, 2021
Pauline W. Connolly passed away on February 28, 2021 with her loving husband of 48 years, John, by her side.
Affectionately known as Peaches, Pauline was born on August 2, 1946 in Boston, Massachusetts. A longtime employee of The Bank of Boston, she raised her family in Holbrook, Massachusetts in the wonderful Poole Circle neighborhood.
Pauline enjoyed camping at Normandy Farms Campground where she met so many of her lifelong friends. After retiring, she moved to Naples, Florida where she spent time enjoying the sun with more friends that she grew close to. Pauline enjoyed traveling, online shopping and scrolling through Facebook to keep up with all the family and friends that she loved.
Pauline adored nothing more than her loving family. Her husband, Johnny, was the light of her life and her best friend. Together, they raised 2 children, and later she became the Grammy to her 4 grandchildren. She is the beloved dog mom to her baby, Coco Chanel. A day did not pass where she did not phone her family just to say hello and that she loved them.
Pauline is survived by her husband, John of Naples Florida. She was the mother of Kelly Harden and her husband, Tom of Attleboro, Massachusetts, and Shawn Connolly and his wife Jamie of Plainville, Massachusetts. She is the treasured Grammy to her grandchildren, Callie and Kerin Connolly, and Brady and Jacob Harden. She is the daughter of the late James and Pauline Sutherland and loving sister to the late Marlene Perry. Pauline is also survived by all her dear nieces and nephews, along with many other family members who she treasured.
Services will be announced at a later date.

Please know that my heart is with you all. Pauline was such a wonderful lady. I remember sitting on her bed babbling on and on about high school drama. She would listen with so much patience and love. (Probably trying not to laugh) She always made me feel so welcome. Sending big hugs to all of you

Dear John, Kelly, Shawn and Family,
I just heard the news and I can not believe this. I have many great memories of Pauline. I wanted you all to know that in our lives people enter and although we may not see each other, she and you all meant something some special to me growing up. I will remember Pauline’s sense of humor and how she laugh when I burnt the Jiffy Pop. Every time I see of Ramen noodles, I think about how your Mom introduced them to me, to cook for you, Kelly and Shawn. She trusted me to bring you both to and from Ames Nowell State park. She always made me feel apart of the family. I know your hearts are breaking. I am truly and deeply sorry for the loss of your Mom and John, your beloved bride. Rest in Peace Pauline.
Jeanine (Lyons) and Family
