Paulette Anne Pool

A lifelong Hastings resident Paulette Pool, 77, passed on peacefully June 7, 2025, at The Kensington in Hastings with her children by her side.

Paulette has requested no service be given and along with her late husband, Marvin stated for our friends and family to "Close your eyes and remember the good times." 

Paulette graduated from Hastings High in 1965. Shortly after, she met the love of her life, Marvin Pool who was in the 625th Radar Squadron at the Hasting Air Force Station. After completing tours of duty in Zweibrucken, Germany and Key West, FL, they moved back to Hastings to raise their family.

Paulette worked from 1976 to 1977 at Allen's in Hastings and then in 1977 started working for Hastings Community Development. In 1978, she became the Executive Director of the Hastings Housing Authority. After 35 years as Director, she retired in 2013.

She loved the outdoors and had a special fondness for gardening her tomatoes.

Paulette is survived by her brother, Ron Amack; two children: daughter, Trena and husband Mick Landholm, and son, David and wife Lesli; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
