Welcome

Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.

Polly moved from Minnesota to Jupiter, FL in 1973, and lived in the Waterford retirement community in Juno Beach from 2011 on. She loved her family, her friends, the residents and the staff at the Waterford, and the members of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palm Beaches.
She was curious, kind and thoughtful, and she lived life to the fullest. Polly is survived by three children, two grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, and many friends.
Donations in honor of Polly's life may be made to the Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno Beach by calling 561-627-8280, or online at www.marinelife.org.
