Slaughenhoupt

Pauline Anna Kriebel Slaughenhoupt treated everyone she met with kindness and generosity. She died Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022, at Parker Personal Care Home in Parker.

Born in Dutch Hill, Pa., on Dec. 15, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Lindsay Samuel and Orpha May Gallagher Kriebel.

She married Gerald “Hap” Slaughenhoupt on Feb. 13, 1947, and he preceded her in death on April 1, 2013, after 66 years of marriage.

Pauline was an active and devoted member of her church. She most recently attended Park Hill Church of God. Before Park Hill was formed in the merger of Dutch Hill and Parker congregations, she had been a parishioner at Dutch Hill, which she had attended since birth. For many years, she was a Sunday school teacher and was an active member of the Women’s Missionary Society. She enjoyed Camp Meeting at Whitehall (Emlenton) and looked forward to that every summer, until her decline in health.

Her church and her faith were truly a central part of her life.

Pauline and “Hap” took up housekeeping in Perryville, and when not mowing or gardening, could be seen relaxing on their front porch waving to all who drove past — friend, family members or strangers. She enjoyed reading, cooking and baking, and spending time with her family.

She is survived by her children, Linda (Eugene) Henry of Boiling Springs, Pa., Randy (Becky) Slaughenhoupt of Bruin and Vickie (Bob) Kahl of Clarion; her grandchildren, Derreck (Justine) Henry of Carlisle, Aaron (Laura) Slaughenhoupt of Cranberry Township, Chad (Oleva) Slaughenhoupt of Sarver, Nathan (Tina) Kahl of Gaithersburg, Md., and Lindsay (Jeff) Dudzick of Effort, Pa.; her great-grandchildren, Taylor Kahl, Jessica Weber, Hannah Slaughenhoupt, Haley Slaughenhoupt, Ava Slaughenhoupt, Beckett Kahl, Henry Dudzick and Charlie Dudzick.

Pauline is survived by her siblings, Poppy Myers of Clarion and Claude Kriebel of Parker; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Don, Floyd “Hod,” and Jack; and her sisters, Valjean Hepner and Betty Hawthorne.
