Pauline Frances Smothers Greb, age 87, of Lawton, passed away Tuesday, February 9, 2016 in Lawton. She was born November 6, 1928 in Lavaca, Arkansas to Mary Isabel Perryman and Wesley Austin Smothers. She married Lawrence Rinehart Greb on September 23, 1944. She supported him throughout his long military career. Deployments and duty assignments left her many times to be the head of the household. She faced this responsibility with determination, keeping her family secure in the love of both their parents, involved in their faith and always provided with a sense of security. She loved her children unconditionally and with devotion. Pauline's Catholic faith was always her source of strength. She was active in the Ft. Sill Military Catholic Women's organization, the Knights of Columbus Women's Auxiliary, and was a Red Cross greeter at Ft. Sill Army Hospital. She baked cookies to greet the newly arriving Army recruits that attended Sunday Mass at Ft. Sill, she provided babysitting services for the CCD program for nearly 30 years, she assisted with the thrift store operated by the Blessed Sacrament Women's Auxiliary, and she circulated the petition for the installation of the city operated park in the Pioneer Park neighborhood. She retired from the Lawton Public Schools as Head Cook for the Pioneer Park Elementary School.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Lawrence, sons Donald Richard and Lawrence Allen "Larry", daughters Catherine Marie and Barbara Lynn.

She is survived by her daughter Joann and husband Jim Waters of Gadsden, Alabama, son John and wife Charlene of Oklahoma City, daughter Mary and husband Russell Lohr of Harrisburg, PA, daughter Pamela Sharp of Little Axe, daughter Bridget and husband Brian of Lawton, OK and daughter-in-law Mary Greb of Norman, OK.
