Obituary for Pauline June Shearer (Ivaska)
Pauline J. Shearer, 90, Mosinee, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, at her home under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services.
She was born on June 30, 1927, the daughter of the late John and Mary (Kubik) Ivaska. Pauline married Richard Shearer in Chicago, IL. He preceded her in death in 2012.
Pauline spent her life caring for others. After raising three children, she retired and spent 30 years as a co-director of the Circle of Joy Food Pantry in Mosinee.

She is preceded in death by parents, John and Mary; husband, Richard; infant sister, Eve; and a brother, Chuck.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017 at St. Paul Catholic Church, Mosinee. The Rev. Norman Boneck will officiate. Burial will be at St. Paul Cemetery, Mosinee.
