Pauline Tahtinen Wesander

Pauline loved the outdoors, especially on sunny days; visiting with friends; and singing. But she was happiest when she could spend time with her children and grandchildren – laughing and listening to their stories.

Pauline is preceded in death by her husbands, Walter Tahtinen and Donald Wesander; a grandson; her parents; a brother; and a sister. She is also preceded in death by her beloved beagle, Queenie.

Pauline is survived by her children, Ethel (Chet) Boodry, Sharon (Gil Beecher) Tahtinen, Wally (Barb) Tahtinen, and Donna Wesander; grandchildren, Sharon (Jeff) Wunderlich, Troy (Brittney) Tahtinen, Hillary (Chris) Goodner, Cindy Wiltse, Wally (Robyn Brancato) Wiltse; great-grandchildren, Justin Wilbur; Blake, Paige, Ryan and Brandon Wunderlich, Dominique and Calogero Wiltse, and Wade Tahtinen.

Funeral services will be held in the spring at a date to be determined. Burial will be at Riverside Cemetery in Ontonagon.

The family of Pauline wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the entire staff at Canal View and Hospice for the exceptional care she received during her stay there.

Cane Funeral Home is assisting the family.
