Pauline E. (White) Boynes, 95, of Cumberland, passed away on Wednesday, July 19, 2023,  at The Friendly Home in Woonsocket. She was the devoted wife of the late Robert L. Boynes for 72 years.

Pauline was born in Lawrence, MA, and throughout her long life, she made Cumberland her cherished home. Her parents, Horace M. and Mary (Ordway) White, instilled in her a deep sense of love and compassion for her family and community.

Above all else, Pauline was a dedicated homemaker, finding fulfillment in caring for her family's well-being and fostering their health and happiness. She also worked as an office worker at the former FW Heel Company for seven years until 1953, as well as a Buyer for the former  McCarthy's Department Store in Woonsocket, displaying her strong work ethic and commitment to her responsibilities.

She enjoyed bowling, swimming and traveling, especially trips to Montreal and Lake George.  She also enjoyed playing Poker with her family on family holidays.   Her true passion and joy came from gathering with her loved ones. Spending quality time with her family brought immeasurable happiness to her heart.

Pauline leaves behind a legacy of love; her four sons, Robert L. Boynes Jr.  and his wife Donna of Swansea, MA, Richard A. Boynes and his wife Elizabeth of North Attleboro, MA, Ronald S. Boynes and his wife Rosa of Cumberland, and David C. Boynes and his wife Susan of Chepachet; her daughter, Paula J. Rothbaum and her husband Brian of Sharon, MA, and they all shared a special bond with Mom that will be cherished forever.   In addition to her children, Pauline's influence extended to nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren; as well as several nieces and nephews.  She was the sister of the late Carl White, Theresa Lanouette, Donald White, Joseph White and Al LeBlanc.
