Pauline Clyde Pace was born March 13, 1919 to Hannah Mendenhall and Edward Clyde in Springville, Utah and died February 23, 2012 in Salt Lake City.
She was a young lady who grabbed hold of life with great zeal and a big sister to five brothers. In addition, she was a disciple of Christ, a nurturing mother, and a devotee of culture and the arts who travelled the world. Even down to her recently acquired IPAD, she never stopped her quest for learning.
Pauline married Joseph Leon Pace in the Salt Lake Temple in 1942. As a war bride she endured Joe's absence while he served as a flight surgeon in the Pacific. Following World War II, they settled in San Jose, California, where they raised their family of seven children: Nathan, Craig, Maurio, Malcolm, Niki, Shana, and Tia.
In 1983, they moved to the American Towers in Salt Lake City. Through fifty-eight years of marriage they experienced grand adventures visiting over 100 countries and coming within a whisker of walking on all seven continents. They collaborated on several books about their lives together including an autobiography entitled We're Not Dead Yet.
Pauline loved and served the Savior. She marked a path for her descendants to follow. With her husband, she endured the discomforts of third world humanitarian travel to hot spots such as Somalia, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.
She and Joe served four missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: medical service in Mexico and Central America while living in a VW bus, proselyting work in Moscow at the dissolution of the Soviet Union, teaching English to doctors in China, and medical service in Argentina.
She was a ward Relief Society president at eighty-three and loved to read, study, and teach the gospel. She served as a hostess in the Church Office Building and spent countless hours at the Humanitarian Center making quilts and providing other service. She remained energetic and independent as she aged.
Pauline was a lifelong patron of the arts. As a young farm girl, Saturday morning radio broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera filled the home with beautiful sounds and lifted her spirits above Depression-era hardships.
This love of opera and music was shared with her family and many others. She led an arts program in San Jose and later in Salt Lake City that gave thousands of high school age youth an appreciation of grand opera. In education she sponsored a number of scholarships and endowed a professorship at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Above all, she was a loving, devoted wife and mother and friend to all. Her final hours were shared by her five living children and many grandchildren who surrounded her bedside. Her reunion with her husband is captured in this text from one of her favorite songs by Richard Strauss.
Through joy and sorrow we have
Walked together hand in hand;
We are resting from our wandering
Now above the quiet land.
The family appreciates the employees of the American Towers and the staff of the U. of U. Hospital who helped in her final hours.
A viewing will be held on Friday, March 2, 2012 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple Street, Salt Lake City. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the LDS meetinghouse at 142 West 200 North, Salt Lake City, with a viewing prior to the services from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Interment will be in the Evergreen Cemetery, Springville, Utah.
