PAULINE VIRGINIA ROSE was born June 22, 1928, in rural Decatur, Nebraska, to Melvin and Faye (Pounds) Jump. She passed away, Tuesday, March 1, 2011, at Oakland Mercy Hospital in Oakland, Nebraska, at the age of 82 years.

Pauline attended country school at Black Bird School and graduated from Decatur High School. She attended Midland Teachers College in Fremont, Nebraska, and taught country grade school.

She married Leon Storm. They had seven children, Dalbert, Marilyn, Duane, Vicki, Howard, Douglas, and Curtis. The family made their home in Macy, Nebraska. They later divorced.  Pauline was employed at various restaurants in Decatur and beef processing plants in Omaha and IBP in Dakota City, Nebraska, where she moved up from labor to management as a trainer to the Quality Control Inspector.  She trained left handed meat cutters, as she was able to cut meat right or left handed. She also met the famous French Chef, Julia Child, and instructed her in the breakdown of various cuts of beef. Pauline was injured twice while employed at IBP, rendering her disabled.

Pauline was a past member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Decatur, where she served on various ladies committees. 

On January 30, 1982, Pauline was married to Don Rose, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Decatur by the Rev. Warner.  They resided in Dakota City, Nebraska. Pauline enjoyed camping and fishing as much as her disability allowed. In 1997, when due to Pauline’s health, they moved to Lyons, Nebraska. Moving to Lyons was a blessing to Pauline, as they moved next door to her friend and co-worker, Gale Corey, from their Decatur restaurant days. Pauline and Gale visited daily, reminiscing over coffee and goodies; during bad weather, they stayed in contact by phone.  Although Pauline had to deal with many health problems from cancer to spine surgeries during this time, the years she spent in Lyons turned out to be the very most enjoyable part of her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Kenneth and Earl Dean Jump and great grandson, Noah.

Survivors include her husband, Don of Lyons; daughters, Marilyn (David) Johnson of Ozark, Missouri, Vicki (Davis) Hankins of Lyons; five sons, Dalbert (Virginia) Storm of Bancroft, Nebraska, Howard (Regina) Storm of Decatur, Duane (Ruby) Storm of Greeley, Colorado, Douglas (Kellene) Storm of Decatur, Curtis Storm of LeSueur, Minnesota; sisters, Genevieve Modlin of Jefferson, South Dakota, Alice Campbell of Blair Nebraska; brother, ”Dutch”, Melvin Jump Jr. of Omaha, Nebraska; 15 grandchildren; 28 great grandchildren and one great-great granddaughter; and good friends, Mary and Gary Reynolds, who helped care for her since 2004.
