Pauline was the daughter of George and Katharina (Forderer) Wagner. She grew up on a farm and learned the lesson of hard work.

Pauline married the love of her life, Jake Tschritter, April 4, 1954.  They had 3 children who were the world to them. Pauline raised her children and babysat and cared for many other children.  After the children had left home, she worked at Freier's Restaurant for many years.  She also cared for her mom and dad in their later years.

Everyone will remember Pauline for her selfless help to all her extended family and neighbors, for her homemade picture cards, for her always setting out lunch for company that just dropped in, and for her love of flowers and caring for her yard.

Her grandchildren will always remember her as the "candy" Grandma.  She was always up for a game of Pollyanna with them.

She is survived by two sons, Rod of Lincoln, ND, Darel (Patty) of Strasburg, one daughter, Wanda (Peter) Hettwer of West Fargo, ND, 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers, Reuben of Bismarck, ND, Elmer (Marge) of Lincoln, ND, Ray (Mary) of Rapid City, SD, sister-in-law, Arlene Wagner, Linton, ND and many nieces and nephews that were very dear to her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jake, on June 4, 2015, her parents, her brother, Harold, her sister, Corrine Fruhwirth, her brother-in-law, Larry Fruhwirth, her sister-in-law, Fran Wagner, her daughter-in-law, Lyndel Tschritter, and her special niece, Arlys Wagner Isaak.

The family wants to thank Arlene Wagner and Edna Keller for their wonderful care of Pauline the last three years.  We will forever be grateful to you.
