With celebration of a life well lived, the family of Paulyne Lawton, age 88, announces her passing which occurred on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Silverdale, England, on February 7, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Sidney and Helen (McKenney) Lawton. Paulyne was a former member of the Canadian Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists; NB Nurses Association; Saint John Naturalists Club; and was a charter member of Saint John Outdoor Enthusiasts Club. She was also a retired instructor from NB Community College in Medical Laboratory Technology Program.

Always on the go, she golfed, hiked, kayaked, canoed, skied and swam even into her eighties.
