She enjoyed her Florida travel time with her favorite son, Jack and spending time in Kansas with her second favorite son, Gary. Her hobbies included spending time with her family, collecting jewelry, making crafts and her favorite, shopping with her daughter Tina and later with Marla. Pauline was a woman who was very ahead of her time, strong willed and independent. She instilled great morals and successful traits in those she loved. Pauline was a former member of Smith Park Methodist Church.

Pauline leaves to cherish her memory her loving children, Gary Galey of Terre Haute and Tina and husband Jimmy Horrall of Terre Haute; daughter-in-law, Pat Galey of Tallahassee, Fla.; grandchildren, Mark and wife Tammy Galey of Tallahassee, Sheila and husband Walt Efferen of Gainsville, Fla., Elizabeth and husband Blake Reed of Terre Haute; and her special honorary granddaughter, Marla and husband Erik Wickens of Avon.

In addition to her parents, Pauline was welcomed home to heaven by her faithful and devoted husband, Rollie; her favorite son, Jack; her sister, Margie Harmon and brother-in-law, Deward Harmon. George and Gertie are now at peace and reunited.

The entire Galey family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the entire staff of Royal Oaks and Vista Care Hospice for their kind, loving and compassionate care they provided.
