LOWVILLE - Pauline Marie Johndrow, 92, passed away on Monday afternoon, July 2, 2012, at the Lewis County Residential Health Care Facility. Prior to entering the nursing home, Pauline had resided at Brookside Senior Living Center and on Park Avenue. Pauline was born on September 10, 1919, in Croghan, a daughter of the late Thomas and Petronella Ostroski DuFlo. After her graduation from Father Leo Memorial High School, Pauline graduated from Watertown School of Commerce. She worked for Dr. Arthur Peckham in Watertown until her marriage to A. Clarke Johndrow on August 12, 1942, at St. Stephen's Catholic Church, with Rev. Amadeus Burke officiating. After their marriage, Clarke was the distributor of Shell Oil in Lowville while Pauline worked in the office. In 1952, the couple bought DuFlo's Shoe Store in Lowville, renamed the business Clarke's Shoes and together maintained it until Clarke's death in 1975. Pauline continued to own and operate the business until selling it in 1981. For many years, Pauline managed the gift shop at Lewis County General Hospital for the hospital auxiliary, while at the same time opening her home to boarding guests on a short term basis. She welcomed her guests with a smile and very much enjoyed visiting with them and sharing stories. She also loved to knit and cook. However, she was most proud of her family, especially her grandchildren and loved spending time with them.
