Pauline Canafax Biggs, age 92, of Ashland, Kentucky, passed away Sunday, November 19, 2023, at Kings Daughter Medical Center in Ashland, Kentucky. She was born Tuesday, January 13, 1931, in Carter County, Kentucky, to the late Herbert and Nettie Kiser Canafax. Pauline was a native of Olive Hill, Kentucky, although she lived most of her ninety-two years in Ashland. She obtained a secretarial certification from Morehead State University, which provided valuable in her cherished role as both life and business partner, with her late husband Robert Gail Biggs, especially during his twenty-six year plus career as an Ashland area realtor. Pauline was working for The Department of The U. S. Navy, in Washington, D. C. , when she and Gail began their more than sixty year married life. A beloved mother of five children, she also relished every minute of her role of grandmother and great grandmother as well, making each and every one of this brood feel special with the genuine interest in their daily pursuits. A sought after listener among her far reaching circle of family and friends, Pauline very typically came up with encouraging words for all who engaged her counsel. Pauline enjoyed a good laugh or a quiet meditation with daily scripture readings in equal measure. Her calming, cheerful demeanor in each and every day was a virtue cherished by all who knew and loved this very real "Angel Among Us. "In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Robert Gail Biggs; one son, Ricky Allen Biggs; one grandson, Jonathan Crum; four brothers, Homer Canafax, Everett Canafax, Paul Canafax, Raymond Canafax; one sister, Marie Fields.
