Pauline Whatley was called home on Monday, July 3, 2023, after a lengthy difficult battle with Alzheimer’s disease and a stroke. She was born December 28, 1928, to Parish and Alice Elizabeth Hanson. Pauline married L. C. Whatley on August 19, 1950, and had a very large loving family. Mother was a great cook, seamstress and home keeper. But most of all she was the best “Momma” a child and adult could have and we will all miss her calls saying, “It’s just your Mom.” She was never just our Mom…so much more than that.
She is preceded in death by husband, Cec, her husband of 62 years; her parents, all seven siblings and granddaughter, Stacey Renee Whatley. She is survived by daughters, Paula Adams and husband Milton of Abilene, Texas; Barbara Madrid and husband Andrew of Midland, Texas; sons, Danny Whatley and wife Nancy of Alvin, Texas; Clinton Whatley of Amarillo, Texas and Jim Bob Whatley of Midland, Texas. She is also survived by one grandson, Tanner; five granddaughters, Bridget, Roxi, Danya, Catlin, and Mahayla; fourteen great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends and relatives from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 10, 2023, at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home, 3800 N. Big Spring Street, Midland, Texas. Graveside services will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, at Resthaven Memorial Park in Midland.
