Pauline M. Adkins, age 87, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Pottstown, PA, on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, surrounded by her loving friends.

Born in Chester, PA, she was the daughter of the late William Nickle Jr. and Pauline Nickle (Butler). She was raised in Trainer, PA, alongside her brothers, William and Robert Nickle, and graduated from Eddystone High School. Pauline went on to dedicate 50 years of hard work to Kimberly-Clark & Scott Paper before her retirement.

Pauline shared a beautiful life with her husband, the late Arthur Adkins. Together, they loved traveling, finding immense joy in trips to both the mountains and the beach. In her final years, Pauline resided with dear friends in Pottstown. She found great happiness in life's simple pleasures: watching the horses at the farm, visiting cat cafes, and dining out. An avid animal lover, Pauline held a especially deep affection for her cats.

Pauline was tragically preceded in death by her husband, Arthur, and her two beloved children, Robert Bowden and Brenda DiGiacomo. She leaves behind a legacy of hard work, wonderful friendships, and a deep love for the animals she cherished.
