Pauline Englert, 91, of Ferdinand, passed away on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at Scenic Hills at the Monastery in Ferdinand.

She married Hilliard Englert on August 21, 1948, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Jasper. He preceded her in death on October 27, 2015.
Pauline was a member of Christ the King Parish, St. Ferdinand Church. She was a past member of the Ferdinand Fire Department Auxiliary. She worked at the Jasper Glove Factory for 16 years before working at Möbel in Ferdinand until her retirement. She was a wonderful cook and passed several of her recipes down to her daughters-in-law, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters.
She enjoyed spending time with her family, doing cross-stitch, going for drives, and was very proud when visitors marveled at the colorful and detailed designs created from her coloring hobby.
