Pauline Edna Hayes

Pauline Edna Hayes, 93, of Port Huron, died peacefully Saturday, August 13, 2016, in the loving care of the staff at Marwood Nursing and Rehab, and surrounded by family.

She was born August 27, 1922 in Sarnia, Ontario to the late Thomas and Edna Kemsley.

She served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII. After service she became a bookkeeper, which helped to support raising her children after the death of Frank, and led her to live in California and Florida. Many years later she married her old sweetheart Joe and moved to Michigan.
