Pauline Doll of Rockledge, Pennsylvania died Friday, October 8, 2021. She was 86 years old. Pauline was born March 15, 1935 in Ali Anife, Romania, daughter and fifth child of the late Johann Eppinger and the late Kunigunde Eppinger (nee - Zerr). She was the beloved wife of 58 years to the late Max Henry Doll; mother of Maria Shaw and her husband Edward, Anneliese McMenamin and her husband Timothy, and Karl Doll and his wife Colleen (nee: Clauss); grandmother of Amanda Vishio-McAviney and her husband Bill, Christina Weaver and her husband Samuel III, Elizabeth Lampione and her husband Gene III, Caroline Shaw, Lauren McMenamin, Julianna Shaw, Natalie Doll, and Max T. Doll; great grandmother of Jocelyn Weaver, Samuel Weaver IV, Gene Lampione IV, and Owen W. McAviney. She is survived by her siblings Anton Eppinger, Ottilia “Tillie”Mihajlowitsch (Karl), her sister-in- law and Cathy Eppinger and her large extended family. She was preceded in death by her brothers Nicholas, Robert, and Clement Eppinger.
In 1952, at the age of sixteen, with the help of Catholic Charities Pauline immigrated from Romania to the United States and settled in Philadelphia where she would meet the love her life, Max. Max and Pauline were married on October 29, 1955 at Sacred Heart Parish in Philadelphia and made their family home of 50 years on Forrest Ave, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. They were longtime members of St James Church and the Tirolier Beneficial Society. In retirement, Pauline along with her husband traveled to Florida, California, and the US Virgin Islands, along with many regular summer trips to Sea Isle City, NJ.
