Pauline Still

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Pauline Maria Still, who departed this life on July 26, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on May 23, 1939, to Jose and Cleo Sanchez. Pauline was a beacon of faith and spirituality, profoundly dedicated to her church and her love for Jesus.

Pauline married her husband, David Still, on November 21, 1971, in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

As a cherished member of her community, Pauline found joy in the simple pleasures of life-gathering with friends for lunch, celebrating Game Day with laughter and camaraderie, and delighting in the beauty of Christmas lights during the holiday season. Her warmth and kindness were evident in her many friendships, as she nurtured connections that filled her life with love and joy.

Pauline was an active participant in her church community, belonging to the Alter Society Women's group and the Caritas Christi. Her dedication to service and her fellow parishioners embodied the spirit of compassion and fellowship, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Pauline's radiant personality often shone through during her visits to Marcie Martinez, where she enjoyed the affectionate ritual of getting her hair done. These moments were not only about beauty but also connected her to the friendships she valued so dearly.

Pauline is survived by her nephew Roderick D. Sanchez and her nieces Audrey Frank (Richard), Jennifer Cauley (Glen), Laurie Snelgrove (David), and Robyn D. Sanchez. Great nieces and nephews: Katie, Rusty, Isabel, Betsy, and Renee.

She is preceded by her husband, David Still; parents, Jose and Cleo Sanchez; sister, Helen Burchfield; and brother, Jose "Joe" Sanchez Jr.

In remembrance of Pauline, her family and friends will gather for a celebration of her life at Sacred Heart Church, 921 N Merriwether, Clovis, NM, with a rosary beginning at 9:00am on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Service at 9:30am, followed by interment at Lawn Haven Cemetery.

Pauline Maria Still will always be remembered as a loving friend, a devoted church member, and a spiritual companion to many. Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
