Janaury 18, 1932 – January 16, 2025
at the age of 92 years:
Pauline Florence Lee (nee Nadeau) passed away at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm, B.C. on Thursday, January 16, 2025 just days short of her 93rd birthday.
A private celebration of Pauline’s life will be held at a later date to be determined by the family.
Pauline was born January 18, 1932, in Legers Corner (Dieppe), Westmorland Co. New Brunswick where she spent her early childhood before her family moved to Montreal, Quebec and then to Oshawa, Ontario. After completing high school Pauline met Osborne Lee of Stoney Creek, Ontario whom she married before they moved to Alberta where Osborne studied to become a pastor. Following her husband’s graduation, they worked in central and Atlantic Canada before moving to British Columbia and ultimately retiring and living in Blind Bay.
Pauline’s life was dedicated to supporting her husband in his work and as a homemaker raising two sons, Stephen and Philip and her foster daughter Dee Power. Pauline devoted her creative energy to art, producing many paintings of landscape and still life in the medium of oil paint and pastel. Pauline also produced a number of large scale murals for conventions and for churches.
Pauline is predeceased by her husband, Pastor Osborne Lee. She is lovingly remembered by her family Stephen F. Lee and his wife Phyllis Lee of Salmon Arm, B.C., Philip Lee and his wife Andrea Lee of Westbank, B.C., and a foster daughter Dee Power of Salmon Arm, B.C. as well as her grandchildren Carrie and Jessica and her great-grandchild Alex.
The family wishes to express special thanks to Dr. Warren Bell and the Nursing, care, chaplain and support staff at Bastion Place who provided such attentive care and support for Pauline especially in her closing days. Pauline particularly appreciated the prayers of her Church family and the spiritual care provided by Chris, a chaplain at the Bastion Place.
“I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.” Psalms 116:1
