Pauline Melton (25 Feb 1954 - 29 Aug 2024)

Fondest memories of a very dear and beautiful friend. Her selflessness, laughter, fun, honesty and the very occasional swear word! Pauline touched everybody who knew her in her own very special way. You will be so dearly missed RIP my'PM' - Until we meet again - your 'PA'xx

I don't have any physical pictures, but one of my earliest memories was when I ran away from home.
I was about 4 y/o
I told my Mom I was going to move in with Pauline, I packed a pink jelly bag and stomped over to Pauline's.
Pauline said I could move in as long as I paid rent.
I went downstairs and stole Mrs Andrews flowers, I went on to sell Mrs Andrews her own stolen flowers. I believe I raised 3 and 1/2 pence.
Feeling proud of my raised rent - I headed back to Pauline, who laughed at my 3 and 1/2 p ...
Pauline then highlighted that3 and 1/2 pence was not enough to cover the food, let alone the electricity, gas, or water...
I was given home economics advice and sent on my way home.
Pauline you are a funny f*cker - loved by many, you have left a big void. Not so much goodbye, but more... Until we meet again you lovely legend 🌈✨️

You are one amazing lady that touches everyone’s heart you ever meet. There is only one Pauline Melton. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Until we meet again. Xx

Thank you for all the advice Pauline, for always being so honest and for being the best mummy and nanny to your amazing family. Rest in eternal peace. Xxx

Thank you for being there for me even when you never knew I needed it. Xx

I am very honoured to be your friend. You are one incredible friend 🧡
