IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Pauline C.
Torr
September 18, 1933 – December 3, 2015
Obituary
Rochester, New Hampshire
Pauline C. Torr, 82, of Rochester died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Somersworth, New Hampshire on September 18, 1933, she was the daughter of Elsie (Turcotte) and Thomas Perron. She attended school in Somersworth, and later received a degree from McIntosh College. In 1953 she married her sweet heart Ralph who was serving in the United States Air Force. They moved to Tacoma, Washington for a time before returning home to settle in New Hampshire. After raising four children, Pauline worked for Wentworth Douglass Hospital in the emergency department for a time before working at Strafford County WIC where she worked for 20 years before retiring. Above all her greatest joy and accomplishment was being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Spending time with her husband and family are memories that she treasured most. She was the center of love and joy that her family cherished beyond measure. Her great faith was such a beloved gift and was evident by helping others in times of need. So many lives were touched by her friendship and acts of kindness from the heart.
She is survived by her husband of 62 years Ralph W. Torr of Rochester, Her children Ralph W. Torr and his wife Julie O'Keefe of Owings, Maryland; Mark D. Torr of Rochester; Wayne D. Torr and his wife Trisha of Rochester; Lynn (Torr) Williams and her husband Timothy of Rochester, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
Pauline was predeceased by her mother and father as well as brothers Armand, Gerard, George, and her twin brother Paul, sisters Rose (Perron) Perreault, Priscilla (Perron) Drake, and Roberta Perron.
The family wishes to thank Cornerstone VNA Hospice for the great comfort and support given to them during Pauline's period of care.
SERVICES: There will be no visiting hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday December 7, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Parish on Lowell Street in Rochester. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery in Farmington, New Hampshire.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Cornerstone VNA and Hospice, or if so desired to the charity of one's choice.
