Mrs. Pauline R. Caldwell
April 15, 2014
Pauline R. Caldwell, of 2045 Cannon Avenue, was born on March 12, 1937 to the late Paul H. Rice and Mamie C. Rice. She departed this life on April 15, 2014 after a brief illness.
Mrs. Caldwell attended the public schools of this city as well as Winston-Salem Teacher’s College (a.k.a. WSSU). She began her professional career working for the federal government in Washington, DC. She and her family returned home to Winston-Salem in 1968. She retired from R.J. Reynolds in 1988 after 20 years of service.
Her favorite passion was playing cards. Whether it be bridge, pinochle, bid whist or spades – she ruled the table at them all. In route to earning her RUBY in bridge she traveled the country acquiring trophies as she wore the signature outfits she became known for. She also thoroughly enjoyed playing slot machines - from Robinhood Rd. to Las Vegas Blvd. While she was enjoying these past times, she made many friends and lasting relationships.
Mrs. Caldwell was preceded in death by her husband, James Thomas Caldwell and four brothers: Calvanor, Clistus, Milton, and Alvin.
She leaves to mourn her loss: one daughter, Melissa (James) Adams of Kernersville; one son, Terence Caldwell of Atlanta, GA. Two grandsons, James Jr. and Kevin Adams. One step-granddaughter, Angie (Donald) Dulin. Two sisters, Rosa and Revia Rice. Three brothers, Ellis (Hedy), Kenneth (Mary) and David Rice. One great granddaughter, Mia Dulin and two great grandsons, Brendon Adams and Donald Dulin Jr. Two beloved god-great grandsons, Joseph Lyles and D’Ronnie Hilliard. Several nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, April 19, 2014 in the chapel of Clark S. Brown & Sons Funeral Home. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service. Interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
