Pauline R. (Brodeur) Pepin, 91, of Woonsocket, passed away peacefully in her home on November 30, 2016. She was the wife of Maurice O. Pepin who she married on April 7, 1951. Born on April 22, 1925 in St. Eugene, Quebec, Canada, she was the daughter of the late Alphonse and Clotilde (Poirier) Brodeur.
Pauline perfected the art of homemaking by providing a warm, loving home for her husband and family. She was a great cook and skilled seamstress, who loved to play board and card games with her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, making puzzles, watching television, particularly the Red Sox, and traveling. Pauline had an incredible wit and lively spirit, and was adored by all who knew her. She had a strong faith and was a communicant of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church. She loved dancing and music, and previously sang in the St. Josephs Church choir.

Bonin and her husband Gary of Woonsocket; two sisters, Constance Nault of Blackstone, MA, and Helene Normandin of Woonsocket; her grandchildren, Daniel, Marc, and Timothy Pepin, Angela Desaulniers, and Emily Bonin; and her great-grandchildren Nadine, Ethan, Juliet, Madeleine, and Oliver Pepin.
