Pauline Ann Bister passed away Sunday afternoon, July 20, 2025, at the age of 71, surrounded by family.

Pauline was the second oldest of seven children, born in Burlington, VT, on March 4, 1954, to Robert Earl Bister and Barbara Ann Bister. She is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Randall Bister. She is survived by her siblings, Michael Bister, Susan Lovejoy, Nancy Bister, Joan Bister, and Bonnie Pidgeon; daughter, April Leuci; grandchildren, Jason Bister and Travis Bister; and two great grandchildren, Evelyn Bister and Dawson Bister.

Pauline was a woman of quiet strength, gentle spirit, and enduring love. She found joy in the simple things- spending time with her family, creating beauty through her beloved crafts, and caring for the cats who were her constant companions. Among her many creative talents, she especially cherished diamond art and crocheting, both of which she approached with patience, care, and attention to detail- a true reflection of how she lived her life. She will be missed dearly.

Visiting hours will be held at the Gifford Funeral Home in Richmond, VT on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 10 AM to 12 PM.
