  • Pauline Cooper is a 79-year-old woman who loves God, and tries to live a life devoted to Him. Pauline is a Senior Companion, looking after three women with health problems. She makes their beds, does their shopping, and picks up their medicine from the pharmacy. Sometimes she just plays cards with them.

    On Monday she visits the first of her Senior Companion’s, Ruby Atchison, and squeezes in a home bible group. On Tuesday she visits patients in the Veteran’s home to sing gospel songs, and read the bible. On Wednesday she takes her Senior Companion Anna to a Widow’s support group in Rolla, Thursday is chores and a Ladies Bible Study class, and Friday it’s the last of her Senior Companions, 91-year-old Sylvia Milk.

    “He’s just an awesome God. And He takes cares of me. He loves me! And I love Him! His love makes the world go round”.
