June 25, 1930 ~ January 10, 2026
Pauline Belliveau Knihnicki, was called to her heavenly home on January 10, 2026, at the age of 95. Born on June 25, 1930, in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Pauline lived a life marked by devotion, kindness, and a heartwarming presence that brought joy to all who knew her. She passed away peacefully of natural causes in Reading, Massachusetts, surrounded by the love and prayers of those who were touched by her gentle spirit.
A lifelong Christian, Pauline’s faith was the cornerstone of her existence. It guided her actions, comforted her in times of struggle, and was a source of inspiration to everyone around her. Pauline served as a Eucharistic Minister at St Brigid’s Church in Amherst, Mass.
Pauline loved to knit, she created Christmas stockings for each of her four children, ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her love for reading allowed her to travel to worlds beyond her own, and she often shared the stories that touched her heart with friends and family. Pauline also found great pleasure in playing cards, a pastime that often turned into an opportunity for laughter and fellowship.
As we bid farewell to Pauline Knihnicki, we do so with gratitude for the time we shared with her and the lessons she imparted. We take comfort knowing that she is now at peace in the eternal embrace of her Savior. Her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have been graced by her presence. Thus, we celebrate Pauline’s journey home and the indelible mark she has left on this world.
