Pauline Patrick Tipps passed into her eternal reward on November 2, 2015. She was born in Wilson, Oklahoma on February 18, 1930 to Everett and Alice Patrick. She was one of six children. Her fondest childhood memories were of life on "the farm". She moved to Denton with her brother R.C. Patrick in 1948. She was married to James Weldon Tipps on December 18, 1949. She was a mother and homemaker most of her life and a devout follower of Christ.

Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends knew her as a faithful, patient, loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She always sought the best in people and she possessed an incredibly gentle spirit. She lived her faith as she taught Sunday School to multiple generations of children at the First Church of the Nazarene in Denton. The fruits of her service are evident in the many lives that she influenced.
