Pauline married Harold Bosak on May 29, 1959, at St. Joseph parish. Harold always referred to her as his "1st Wife." Harold and Pauline attended sporting events (all sports) together for over fifty years. Whether it was their 8 T's, grandchildren, or friends that competed, they enjoyed encouraging the players.
