Pauline (nee Crone) Kunz of Humboldt, SK passed away on Saturday, May 27, 2017 at St. Paul鈥檚 Hospital in Saskatoon, SK.聽 She was 86 years of age. Pauline was born March 9, 1931 to Henry and Maria (nee Rolfes) Crone at home on their farm in the Annaheim District. She grew up attending school in Annaheim. She worked for a couple of months for George and Clara Thieman looking after the children, doing some cooking and other things as needed. After that Grandma needed her at home to help with all the house duties. Pauline met the love of her life, Simon Kunz, and they were married October 10, 1950 at which time they moved into their new home on the farm. Pauline loved being on the farm.聽 She helped milk the cows and loved to bake and look after her garden. She was a fabulous baker and made the best bread and buns ever. Over the years Pauline and Simon did some travelling. Some highlights included attending the Briers across Canada, going to BC, the States, Spain and Hawaii. In 1987, they moved to Humboldt where they continued to live in their home up until the time of her passing. Pauline loved to spend time with her family and grandchildren. Over the years they enjoyed camping throughout the various parks in Saskatchewan until they acquired a seasonal site at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. They spent many years there fishing and enjoying the outdoors and made many new friends.
