Anna Pauline

Anna Pauline Holton Applegate passed away
peacefully at her home located at Wilson's Bottom on Friday, January 7, 2011.
Pauline was born March 3, 1931, at the
Holton ancestral home at Wilson's Bottom in Lewis County. She was the only child
of Mr. and Mrs. William Grubb Holton and Lorraine Neal Holton, who both have
preceded her in death. While her father was studying to be a research chemist at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pauline lived with her grandparents,
William Henry and Ethel Grubb Holton on the family farm. In 1941, Pauline moved
to live with her father in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was a chemist
for Dow Chemical. After one year, she returned to live on the farm with her
grandparents. Pauline is a graduate of Tollesboro High School, class of 1948.
She attended Eastern Kentucky University with a double major in Biology and
Chemistry.
While in high school, Pauline met her
sweetheart, Harold D. Applegate. They were married June 29, 1950, in the living
room of her grandparents' home at Wilson's Bottom. Pauline and Harold began
their journey through life together, which lasted over 60 years, at their new
home and farm in the Pine Valley community outside Tollesboro.
Pauline is survived by her husband of 60
years, Harold D. Applegate, and her beloved children, Clifford Holton Applegate
and his wife, Dina Lynn Polley Applegate, of Tollesboro, and Dee Anna Applegate
Hatfield and her husband, Richard D. Hatfield, of Louisville. She has five
wonderful grandchildren, Ryan J. Kennedy and his wife, Sherri Kennedy, of
Brooksville, Harold Dean Applegate and his wife, Mindy Wright, of Tollesboro,
Ashley Holton Applegate of Tollesboro, Leslie Brooke Hatfield Johnson and her
husband, Patrick, of Murray, and William Holton Hatfield of Louisville and
Lexington, Virginia, where he is a second year student at Washington and Lee
University. Pauline was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, Jesse and
Savannah Kennedy of Brooksville. Pauline also leaves Harold's sisters, Lora Mae
Holt of Fort Worth, Texas, and Martha Hardin of Tollesboro; three nieces; three
nephews; and countless friends.
Pauline was a devout, life-long member of
the Christian Church. As a child, and in her later years, she attended Sand Hill
Christian Church. Upon her marriage to Harold, she also attended Pine Valley
Christian Church.
In addition to being a farmer's wife for over
60 years, Pauline held a variety of positions outside the home. When Harold was
drafted into the Army, Pauline worked as a writer for the Maysville
Independent. When she joined Harold in Ft. Lewis, Washington, she worked the
post dispensary. In the early 1960s, Pauline worked for the Census Bureau and in
the Lewis County Public Assistance Office caring for the needs of the least
fortunate of Lewis County. In 1965, at the recommendation of US Congressman Carl
D. Perkins, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Pauline as Postmaster of the
Tollesboro Post Office. Throughout her 38 year tenure as Postmaster of both
Tollesboro and Vanceburg Post Offices, Pauline flourished. In the Summer of
1966, she established the tradition of entertaining the Kindergarten students on
a tour of the post office. Over the years, hundreds of Lewis County children
received their US Flag and self-cancelled post card from their trip to the post
office. Once she even wrote a love letter for a customer who could not write.
Pauline loved to work as Santa's helper. Every letter mailed to Santa in her
office for 38 years was always answered personally. She would don her Santa's
helper suit and deliver express mail packages on Christmas morning throughout
Lewis County. Not only was she loved by her local community, Pauline won
admiration and respect throughout the region and the country. She was awarded
the Benjamin Award, the Postal Service's highest honor, for outstanding postal
and community service an unprecedented six consecutive years. In 2006 the
Postmaster General recognized her for her extraordinary service with a lifetime
achievement award. Pauline was known and loved nationally by her postal family.
Upon her retirement from the Postal Service
in 2003, Pauline remained active with the Postal Retirees organization. In
addition, she joined and was elected President of the Golden Burley Chapter of
the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NARFE). She served the
Buffalo Trace Area Development District on their Cemetery Board working to
identify old family and community plots throughout the county. Pauline was a
member of St. Mary's Lodge, Order of the Eastern Star.
In 2004, Pauline was able to fulfill a
lifelong dream of being a voting delegate to the National Democratic Convention
held in Boston, Massachusetts. As the high point of her trip, Pauline was asked
to address the convention on behalf of the family farmers of America. She spoke
immediately preceding the nomination acceptance speech of Senator John Kerry.
She was the only Kentuckian to speak from the podium in 2004, and one of only
three to ever address the convention.
Pauline lived her life with grace and
dignity. The memory of her amazing spirit and zest for life, strong will to live
and her ability to enjoy every precious moment of life will be greatly missed by
all who have known and loved her.
