Pauline M. Roushey Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Pauline M. Roushey N. Chili - Passed peacefully at home, June 12, 2020, age 90. Pauline Janet McKelvey was born in July of 1929 To Harvey and Janet McKelvey, of Kittanning, PA, one of seven children. In that bustling town her favorite place was the public library and her first job was babysitting. Her love of books and children followed her through life. She moved to Rochester in 1949 to attend Roberts Wesleyan College, working for GM and also for Kodak, at the Hawkeye Plant, between class sessions. The girl from the hills of Pennsylvania became a North Chili girl when she met and married George Roushey in 1951, and was warmly received into the Roushey family. She lived in devotion to God, her husband, three children and church, serving in children's programs and later in the library at Pearce Memorial Free Methodist church. She fed and housed many overnight guests as people came to town for church and college events. While her children were in school she worked at JC Penney, Ridgemont Plaza, and at the Pearce Nursery School. Her heart then widened to love and enjoy three grandchildren. Pauline is most remembered for her loving, faithful service and jovial nature. She was predeceased by her son, David; and is survived by her husband of 69 years, George W. Roushey; son, Bruce Roushey; daughter, Tina (Stan) Letarte; sister, Grace (Hershel) Shea; and grandchildren, Kelly, Ian and Joseph Letarte. A memorial service will be held at Pearce Church in N. Chili at a later date. Donations in Pauline's memory may be made to the Pearce Church food cupboard (made out to Pearce Church with Pauline Roushey in the memo line). 1 Corinthians 13:13
