In her retirement, Pauline continued to teach as a substitute teacher for many years. She enjoyed playing cards, coffee and toast with friends, solving puzzles, but most of all she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is also survived by a sister, Helen Bergmann of Athens.

Pauline is predeceased by her parents, Henry and Katherine (Dessl) Suennen; daughter, Joyce Kornack; siblings Catherine Joers, Marge Suckow and Henry Suennen.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Pauline’s name to Aspirus Hospice House in Wausau.

The family would like to give a special thank you to everyone for being such special friends to Pauline throughout her life and to the staff at Aspirus Hospice House of Wausau for taking such good care of her.
