Pauline "Polly" Preston Wells, 88 of Bedford, passed peacefully on Thursday, February 18, 2021.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert Lee Wells (Bobby), her brothers, Ed, Jack, Burton, and Charles Preston, and her sister Eleanor Vaughn.
As a member of Main Street Methodist Church she spent her life loving God and loving others. She retired from Rubatex Corporation to a life of gardening and loving her grandchildren.

A family celebration of her life will be held in the future. She preached her funeral every day in the positive way she lived life and the love she shared with others.
