Pauline Klueber

Pauline Kundenkova Klueber, 90 years young (AKA 39 years old) of Granger, Washington, was in her favorite place; her home, when she peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday morning, March 4th, 2018. Mom was born near Vitebsk, Belarus. She was taken from her parents' home by the German Invasion force at the tender age of 14 and shipped to a German forced labor camp, where she endured many hardships. She escaped with her friend Riya four years later when the allies liberated the area. Mom remained with a US Army group and worked as a waitress in the Army cafeterias, where she met our Dad. Mom and Dad were married in Regensburg Germany in 1947. In December of 1947 Mom and Dad migrated to Granger, Washington upon his discharge from the Army. Mom resided in the house that Dad built until her passing. Mom was a homemaker, loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She also worked for Del Monte for 30 years. Mom was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Zillah, WA. Mom was the ultimate hostess, providing food and welcoming all who entered her home. Mom’s greatest love was her family, and then came her beautiful flower garden, and in her later years she enjoyed coloring flowers. She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, two brothers, and her loving husband of 52 years. Mom is survived by her children Paul (Kaye) Klueber of Green Valley, AZ; Tamara Parker of Packwood; Gloria (Steve) Meiser of Outlook; Lewis (Debbi) Klueber of Granger; and Pamela (Kevin) Walker of Satus. Grandchildren; Greg, Jill, Shani, Jim, Brian, Tina, Eric, Tara, Steven, Kristina, Jason, Kevin, Tiffany and Ryan; 31 great grandchildren, two great great grandchildren; a niece, Karen Owen; and the Waldschmidt family. Mom leaves behind her special friend Suzy Valenzuela; caregivers, Teresa Cardenas, Sunshine Milton and Karen Kobes. The Lord blessed this world with a beautiful soul; one that profoundly impacted our lives and took a piece of our hearts with her to paradise. In some instances we might fear that the memories will be lost and fade over the years, but not with her. Mom’s story will live on forever. Visitation will be held Wednesday, March 7th from 5:00 to 7:30pm at Valley Hills Funeral Home in Sunnyside.
