Paulie was born in the district of Portage La Prairie and attended Edwin School. She married John Semrick in May 1946 and they raised their family of two daughters in Portage la Prairie. Weekends at their Waterhen cottage were enjoyed by all. She loved cottage life, fishing and being there with her family. In the winter Paulie became an avid hockey fan. She gave to her community through being a Tawny Owl at 1st Portage Brownies and a long standing member of the Order of the Eastern Star Electa Chapter #2. Paulie was known for her humor and loving and patient nature and will be missed by those who knew and loved her.

Miss me but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me, but let me go.
So when you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me, but let me go.
