Obituary: Pauline Saul Cohen

Pauline Saul Cohen of Atlanta passed away Aug. 4, 2021, at the age of 99 at the Renaissance on Peachtree. A lifelong Atlanta resident, she was born at the original Piedmont Hospital Jan. 10, 1922. She graduated from Girls High in 1938 and married the love of her life Gibby Cohen in 1943.

She lived a full and wonderful life, which she thoroughly enjoyed until the end. She had so many close friends. She loved sports and still played tennis well into her 70s. Even during the last week of her life, she couldn’t wait to watch sports on TV. She saw the world, having traveled on numerous occasions to Europe and Israel. She was a true Southern lady, through and through. She will be missed.

She is survived by her son Stanley; son and daughter-in-law Walter and Lisa; three grandchildren Michael (Avital), Brian and David (Julie); and five great-grandchildren Gabriella, Maya, Fiona, Ariel and Philip. She is also survived by her brother Milton Saul and sister-in-law Virginia; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and cousins. The family gives a special thanks to her caregivers Gloria, Tiffany, Beneta and Marta, and her palliative caregiver Jenny Buckley.
