Pauline, known for her warm spirit and infectious laughter, spent her early years in Mills County and later moved to Harlingen, Texas, to be close to her beloved son, Donnie Brown, and daughter-in-law, Christine. Together with her late husband, Allen Glenn Wheeler, she built a life enriched by faith as devoted members of Olden Baptist Church.
