Pauline M. White, 96, of White Horse Beach, Plymouth, formerly of Quincy and Roxbury, passed away on October 16, 2026. She was born in Boston to John and Mary Cook.

With deep love and gratitude, we celebrate the life of our beloved mother leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories. She lived a long and meaningful life, touching the hearts of those fortunate enough to know her. Family was very important to her, and she took special joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were the light of her life, a constant source of happiness and pride. She adored each of them and found her greatest blessings in the time they spent together. An example of this is a tradition of making gingerbread houses which began with her first-born grandchild, Joseph, and has continued for over 35 years. This tradition was one of the highlights of the Christmas season, which she loved so much. She enjoyed any opportunity to bring her family together and took great joy in cooking and baking for them. Post retirement, she took cake decorating classes learning to create beautiful cakes for birthdays and holidays, adding a special touch of love to every celebration. Her delicious treats and lovingly decorated cakes brought joy to her family and helped make so many special occasions even more memorable. There were also many cookouts and celebrations at her home in White Horse Beach where family and friends gathered to share laughter, love, and cherished memories. She was surrounded by so much love and support and gave the same in return. Her memory will forever be a blessing.
