Pauline Vader (née: Jacobson), 87, passed away peacefully at the Villa at Lincoln Park on Tuesday, April 2, 2019.  She was born in Stanley, WI on September 21, 1931 to the late James and Clara (née: Smeland) Jacobson.

After graduating from high school, Pauline continued her education and became a dedicated Registered Nurse, last using her skills at the former St. Mary’s Homecare in Racine.  On August 29, 1957, she was united in marriage to Donald Vader, who preceded her in death on September 12, 2015, at Grace Lutheran Church in Eau Claire, WI.  Pauline was a longtime member of Living Faith Lutheran Church (formerly Atonement Lutheran Church), RING and RACO where she sponsored many and was loved by all.

Surviving are her daughter, Susan Grabner (Patrick Kelly); cherished grandsons Brian and Kevin Grabner; brother David Jacobson; sisters Barbara Schmitt, Janet (Ken) Fremstad, Nancy (Roger) Orlady; and sisters-in-law June Vader and Sonnie Jacobson, along with many nieces, nephews and friends.  In addition to her parents and beloved husband,  Pauline was preceded in death by her sister Jean Jacobson; brother Gerald Jacobson; sisters-in-law Carol Jacobson and Patricia Vader; and brothers-in-law Frederick Schmitt, Eugene Vader and Ronald Vader. Pauline’s family would like to thank everyone at the Villa for their help and support, along with Hospice Alliance for their care and compassion.

    Pauline, a true friend and lovely woman. She helped many women (and men) through her dedication to the program of AA. She will be remembered with love and respect. Rest in peace my dear friend.

    Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. But in the near future this too will have passed away. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Yes, God will completely remove death, forever. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.

    It is with great sorrow that I am sending my condolences on your recent loss. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, I and would like to share a scripture that has benefited me and many people in time of grief. God reassures us of something wonderful in the Bible at Acts 24:15. It says, “There is going to be a resurrection.” Along with God’s promise to us at Revelation 21:3, 4 of sorrow, death, and pain being done away with permanently.

    It is my hope that this bit of information is of comfort to you. Please be sure to find further information regarding the resurrection at: JW.ORG

    May God be with you.

A huge heart felt thank you!

My Aunt, Alvera Van Brunt, was adamant about not having a funeral; with Mike Langendorf’s skills and refreshing open personality, we were able to meet her desires and also give her family and friends a chance for final goodbyes.
