She departed this life Monday, October 19, 2009, in Christian Health Care South, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of seventy-eight years, eight months, and twenty-five days. On May 2, 1954, she was united in marriage to Glendon Adolphus Mizer, and they shared forty-seven years before his passing on December 24, 2001. She was also preceded in death by her parents; and a brother-in-law, Howard Duncan Northcutt. Pauline is survived by two sons, David Harold Mizer, of Lebanon, Missouri, and Dr. Glendon Lavell Mizer, and his wife, Millie, of Denton, Texas; a brother, James Harold King, and his wife, Mary Margaret, of Nixa, Missouri; a sister, Mary Joyce Northcutt, of Springfield, Missouri; two nieces, Kimberly Ann Bradley (Northcutt) and Robin Paulson; a nephew, James Jeffrey King; great-nieces and great-nephews, Joshua, Moriah, Caleb, Ashley, Levi, Mason, Ryan, Zander, and Raven; several cousins; as well as a host of other relatives and friends. She was born and raised in the Phillipsburg community, and graduated from Phillipsburg High School in the Class of 1949. In addition to helping her family with the responsibilities of the farm, she also grew up in and around the King Grocery Store. After she and Glendon were married, they made their home in Lebanon and lovingly raised their son. Throughout her life, Pauline was a devoted and hardworking homemaker to her family. Pauline was a longtime member of the Church of Christ and was very active in the Hayes Street Church of Christ for as long as her health allowed. She was an excellent cook and would often make large quantities of a favorite recipe and share the food with her neighbors and friends. She centered her life around her family, God, and the church, and was a very special mother to David. Pauline was a loving mother, sister, and aunt, and was a kind and caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them throughout the years.
