Pauline Fern (Culler) Cromly

Pauline F. Cromly, age 91 of Defiance, passed away peacefully to The Lord and was reunited with her beloved husband on Tuesday, March 9, 2021 at CHP Defiance Area Inpatient Hospice Center, with her family by her side. The family is praising the Lord, for she was blind but now she sees.  
  
She was born on March 20, 1929 to George and Vera (Feeney) Culler in Defiance, Ohio. On July 5, 1947 she married Donald L. Cromly, who preceded her in death on August 26, 2016.
