Pauline, the daughter of John and Ethel (Curry) Wright, was a resident of Oklahoma City. She married Simon Merle Holcomb in Ft Smith, Arkansas. Pauline worked at Hilldale Elementary School in the Putnam City School District for 20 years. She loved to do crossword puzzles and feeding her squirrels, who would eat straight out of her hand.
