Pauline Powelson Stevens

In Loving Memory of Pauline Powelson Stevens
June 25, 1933 – June 28, 2025
Age 92

With deep sorrow and immense love, we celebrate the life of Pauline Powelson Stevens, who passed away peacefully on June 28, 2025, in Gilbert, Arizona, just days after her 92nd birthday. Born in Cowley, Wyoming, and raised in Lovell, Wyoming, Pauline lived a life of grace, faith, and quiet strength.

On August 25, 1953, Pauline married her beloved sweetheart, Larry Marchant Stevens, and together they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls Temple. Their journey took them across the country during Larry’s service in the U.S. Air Force, with Pauline creating a loving home wherever they were stationed.

After graduating from Brigham Young University, she began her career as a teacher, later serving as the Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of World Savings of Northern CA, where she was respected for her intelligence, professionalism, and dedication.

Following his military career, Larry became a commercial airline pilot for TWA and KLM Airlines, a new chapter that Pauline embraced with her familiar grace. Larry preceded her in death on October 2, 2005, after a marriage built on love, shared adventure, and faith.

A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Pauline served in many callings throughout her life. Her greatest joy came through her love of music—she served as Music Director, Music Chairman, Choir Director, and shared her talents as a pianist and organist. Through music, she expressed her testimony, lifted others’ spirits, and left a lasting impression on her congregation and community.

Pauline is survived by her children: Shauna (Scott) Kimball of Mesa, AZ; Michael (Lenore) Stevens of Vineyard, UT; Christopher (Cindi) Stevens of Hillsboro, OR – and the proud grandmother of six grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren. Her legacy lives on in their lives, in the songs she loved, and in the quiet strength she modeled every day.

She will be remembered always for her deep devotion, her steady kindness, and the grace with which she lived.

Funeral services are Saturday, July 5, 2025 at 12 PM, preceded by a visitation at 11 AM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1865 S Higley Rd Gilbert, AZ 85295.
