Pauline, the daughter of Howard "Cotton" and Cozell Graham was born on March 25, 1938 in Temple, OK. Pauline was one of the four "Graham Sisters." Pauline graduated from Temple High School in 1956 where she was a cheerleader and a proud member of the marching band as a baton twirler.

After high school, Pauline went on to marry Jerry Lindsey Kinnaird on February 23, 1957. Together, they had four children, Ron, Chris, Paula, and Kevin. Pauline stayed busy chasing her children and attending all of their events and school activities.

Throughout the years, Pauline obtained jobs outside of the home at Haggar’s and Halliburton. She taught children's Sunday school class at Meridian First Baptist Church for many years. But above all, her favorite job remained being in the home.

Pauline loved traveling with her sisters, classmates and friends she met through her Pace Setters class at the Simmons Center. Pauline loved her monthly meetings with her classmates in Temple. She loved to laugh and have a good time. She enjoyed Route 44 Diet Cokes, March Madness, crime shows and the Hallmark Channel.

Pauline loved her children and grandchildren but her greatest title was "GiGi." Pauline loved being able to spend time with her great grandchildren and watch them grow.
