Pauline F. (Holmes) Deacon, age 93 of Weymouth passed away on Thanksgiving in 2017, her favorite holiday having been born and raised in Plymouth, Mass. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Frederick D. Deacon and her eight siblings, Solomon (Maynard) Holmes, Roscoe (Rocky) Holmes, Helen Fortini, Howard Holmes, Carl Holmes, Wendell Holmes, Julia Halunen and Virginia Hathaway. For her entire life she was totally dedicated to all of her family and friends. This was a strong trait of all the Holmes' of Plymouth who were members of America's Greatest Generation.

Polly is survived by her children, Joan H. Aigen and her husband Mark of Norwell, Charles W. Deacon and his wife Barbara of Weymouth and Allen F. Deacon and his wife Joann of Athol. Her seven grand-children and six great-grand-children brought her great joy.

Polly was a longtime member of Union Congregational Church of Weymouth and Braintree. She belonged to Progress Circle and the Red Hat Society.

In retirement, she volunteered at Union Congregational Consignment Shop, enjoyed her cottage on College Pond in Plymouth and trips to Foxwoods and Twin River.
