Pauline Estelle LeBlanc Biggerstaff, 99, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2025, in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, where she had made her home for the past seven years.
Pauline met Wilbur Biggerstaff in 1950 in California while he was in the Navy. They married in 1950. The couple moved frequently during Wilbur’s Navy service before settling in Cameron, Missouri, where they raised their eight children. Pauline devoted more than 25 years of service as a registered nurse at Cameron Community Hospital, where she was known for her skill, compassion, and gentle spirit. After retirement, she and Wilbur enjoyed many wonderful years together in Florida.
Pauline was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Wilbur Biggerstaff, her son Monty Biggerstaff; grandson Joshua Biggerstaff; and son-in-law Ernie Dennis.
She is survived by her children: Michael of Ohio; Diane (C.S.) Burnett of Rossville, Georgia; John (Wendy) of Washington/Kansas; Teresa Dennis of Sebring, Florida; Jim (Julie) of Sulphur Springs, Texas; Bill (Susie) of Naples, Florida; Joe (Christi) of Kidder, Missouri; and daughter-in-law Julie Biggerstaff of Kansas City, Missouri. She also leaves behind 22 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter.
A devout Catholic, Pauline made faith a central part of her family’s life and ensured her children were active in church and religious education. She loved her children and grandchildren deeply and was immeasurably proud of each of them.
Pauline will be remembered for her gentle voice, her kind heart, and the quiet strength with which she lived her long and beautiful life. A mass and memorial service will be held at a later date.
