She was preceded in death by her husband, Cal Rohman and her daughter-in-law, Wanda Rohman. On June 6, 1953 she married Calvin Rohman and had three children, Debbie, Nancy and Peter. In 1970 the family moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where Pauline lived for 23 years. She was an active member of New Life in Christ Church during most of those years. In 1979 Cal and Pauline went on a four-month agricultural missions trip to Kenya, East Africa. Cal passed away in August 1983, so Pauline has been a widow for over 35 years. In April 1993 Pauline moved to Stuttgart, Arkansas to be near her son, Peter and his wife, Wanda and granddaughter, Maria. At that time Debbie was on the mission field in Japan and Nancy and her husband, Frank and grandson, John Mark were in Vienna, Austria also as missionaries. Pauline was able to visit them often.
