Pauline Fay Hargis

Springfield, MO

Pauline Fay Hargis, 93 years, 10 months, and 14 days old, passed to heaven on December 30, 2013 at James River Care Center.

Pauline was born February 16, 1920 in Squires, MO to James Wesley Nash and Beulah Mae (Whitacre) Nash.


Pauline was a resident of Springfield, MO. On February 17, 1938 Pauline and William Earl Hargis were united in marriage in Toledo, MO (Ozark County) and to this union three children were born. Pauline was a retired Seamtress with Cole's Clothing on the Plaza in Springfield for over 30 years.

Pauline was a Christian and a member of the General Baptist Church.

She enjoyed life and had great love for all friends and family. She tried to live her life as a faithful servant to the Lord. She had a beautiful singing voice and remembered all the words to the hymns she had ever sung, and joined in on the Sunday services at the nursing home.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and infant daughter.

Pauline is survived by two children and their spouses; William Curtis & Johnelle Hargis, Springfield, MO and Earline & Paul Dixon, Fayetteville, AR, grandchildren, Kendell Hargis Waltz, Katherine Hargis, Jim Poulsom and Jon Poulsom and several great grandchildren.
