Obituary for Pauline Lynn "Polly" Thomas (Fuller)
Iron Mountain – Pauline Lynn Thomas, 59, of Iron Mountain, Mich., passed away Wednesday, January 22, 2020, at her home. Heaven gained another angel.
She was born on November 14, 1960 in Laona, Wisconsin, daughter of the late Douglas and Elizabeth (Kagerbauer) Fuller. Pauline grew up in Florence and graduated from Florence High School, class of 1978. She waitressed first in Nickerson, Kansas and then later in Florence County for many restaurants for years. She worked for Pride Manufacturing in Florence and then later worked as a home healthcare aid in the Pine River area for 8 years. Pauline married Billy Thomas on July 18, 2009.
Everyone that knew her called her Polly and anyone that knew her knew she was filled with love, kindness, and understanding. She loved reading, baking, bird watching, and gardening. A few years back for Christmas she made binders for her 3 children with all of her favorite recipes, mostly written by hand, along with pictures of family scattered throughout.
