Notes for Pauline Vesta Lentz
Pauline Lentz Frick

SALISBURY - Pauline Vesta Lentz Frick, of Salisbury, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 7, 2011.

She was born March 15, 1913, in Rowan County to the late Joseph Calvin and Nancy Morgan Lentz. She graduated from Mitchell School in Misenheimer and in 1933 married Ernest Jones Frick. They had been married 71 years when Ernest passed away in September 2004.

Pauline retired from Carolina Maid Products in Granite Quarry. She was an excellent seamstress and often made bridal and other apparel for family, friends and neighbors. She loved gardening, crocheting, quilting and ceramics, and won ribbons for a lot of her creative and talented work.

Later in life, she took genealogy classes at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and then spent many years researching and compiling records on the Frick/Morgan family history.

She was the oldest member of Liberty United Methodist Church and served as church historian. Learning to use a computer in her 80s, she dedicated herself to computerizing and updating church records to make them accessible. She was a member of the Missionary Society, served on the Cemetery Committee, was a charter member of the Liberty Sunshiners and a member of the Home Demonstration Club.

In addition to her parents and husband, Pauline was preceded in death by her oldest sister, Myrtle Plyler of Statesville; and grandson Eric Misenheimer of Richmond, Va.

She is survived by daughters Gertrude Bunting and husband Kent of Albemarle, Jeanne Misenheimer of Henderson, Erlene Caldwell of Salisbury; and son Everette Frick and wife Phyllis of Kannapolis. Her two sisters are Ruby Bonds and Hazel Russell, both of Salisbury. Six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren survive.

She and her caring, gentle manner and beautiful smile will be greatly missed by her family and friends alike.

Visitation and Service: A Service to celebrate Pauline's life will be held Wednesday, May 11 by Rev. Brad Cunningham at Liberty United Methodist Church. Friends may visit from 2 to 3 p.m. followed by the service at 3 p.m. Interment will follow at the church cemetery.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Liberty United Methodist Church, Building Fund.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Liberty Commons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Rowan Regional Hospice for their kindness and loving care to Pauline.

Powles Funeral Home is assisting the Frick family.
