On Sunday July 13, 2025, heaven got even brighter when Retha "Pauline" Giles went home to be with her Lord and Savior and she is now reunited with her husband, Everett.

She loved working at American Crayon and Hinde and Dauch, WestVa Co. She was a loving and giving wife and mother, and loved spending time singing to worship Jesus. She loved to garden, can food, loved to cook and bake biscuits. Pauline was humble, kind and loving and the "best listener" anyone could ever meet.  She loved unconditionally!

She is a shining example of what God's love is in the world.  We as a family, and all those who have known her, are blessed to the fullest.  Her family only hopes now that we have blessed her anywhere near as much as she has blessed us.
