Pauline Beeler

Cape Elizabeth – Pauline Beeler, 97, passed away peacefully at home on October 6, 2025, with her daughter by her side.

She was born in Portland on November 6, 1927, the daughter of Joseph Napoleon and Leona Robey. Pauline grew up in the Woodfords area of Portland. She and her late husband, Charles Beeler, lived for a short time on Olympia Street in Portland before settling in Cape Elizabeth, where they raised their family. Together, they shared a love of roller skating and were known professionally as The Skating Atoms, performing throughout the region.

Pauline was a talented and devoted homemaker. She was especially known for her homemade candy apples, which she sold every autumn from her home. Children would line up after school, eager to buy one of her famous treats—a cherished neighborhood tradition for many years. She was also an accomplished knitter, crafting sweaters, hats, and mittens for her family.

In her later years, Pauline moved into her daughter’s home, where she received loving 24-hour care and where she spent her final days surrounded by family.

She was predeceased by her husband, Charles Beeler. She is survived by her children, Paul C. Beeler of Scarborough, Bettejean Tinkham, Robert C. Beeler and his wife Debra of Raymond, and Robyn Carol Beeler-Nichols and her husband John J. Nichols of Westbrook; and many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Visiting hours will be held from 12-1pm on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at the Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral Home of South Portland, 1024 Broadway. Following the visiting hours, a Funeral Service will be held at 1pm in the funeral home. Burial will immediately follow at Riverside Cemetery, Cape Elizabeth.
