Pauline Josephine Burlie Bushey, 99, of Manhattan died on Dec.
28, 2011 at the Good Shepherd Hospice House in Manhattan.
Pauline, a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother,
was born on September 11, 1912 in Bluff City, Kansas, to Charles
and Mary (Mraz) Burlie. She and her family moved to Anthony,
Kansas in 1918 where she attended grade school and high school
through her junior year. Her senior year she attended the
Immaculate Conception Academy for Girls in St. Marys, Kansas where
she met her future husband, Henry (Hank) Phillip
Bushey. After graduating from high school, Pauline
attended St. Mary of the Plains (a women's Catholic Junior
College in Dodge City, Kansas) for one year.
Pauline and Henry P. Bushey were joined in matrimony on October

Kansas. He preceded her in death in November of 1973.
Pauline and Hank made their home in St. Marys, Kansas where they
raised their two daughters. They moved to Flagstaff, Arizona
in 1961. Pauline worked as a volunteer in the library of St.
Marys Catholic Grade School in Flagstaff for several years and
enjoyed the wonderful staff and joyful children in that
school. In 1996 she moved to Manhattan, Kansas to be closer
to family and lived in the Georgetown Apartments until May in 2007
when she moved to Assisted Living at Via Christi Village.
