Pauline "Polly" Crea Malone, 92, of Huntsville, Alabama passed away on February 16, 2021. She was born on March 6, 1928 to the late Bessie Mayhood Crea and John Crea in Rush, Pennsylvania. On October 21, 1947 Pauline married Raymond Harold "Slim" Malone and upon Slim's death in August of 2002 they were married 54 years.

Pauline was the eldest of eight children and preceded in death by her sister, Mary St. Clair and three brothers, Joseph Crea, Paul Crea and Wayne Crea.

In 2017 Polly moved from Boca Raton, Florida where she lived for 40 years, to Huntsville. She made many "new friends" and treasured the special treatment they gave her.
