ZELDEN<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A New Orleans native, she attended Sophie B. Wright School and enrolled at Newcomb College when she was only 16 years old. She graduated three years later as a Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>In an era when women were just entering the workforce, Pauline had a more than 40-year career as an executive assistant. Her bosses always relied on her quick thinking and wise counsel.<\/p>\n<p>Following a first date in 1949, she became engaged and married to Max Zelden within six months. A short courting followed by a long, happy marriage is not the norm, she later cautioned her grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband in 2003, following 54 years of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>She is survived by her children Judy Reidy, Karen Zelden (Ralph Senst) and Mrs. Nancy Brennan (John) and four grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>Funeral services were provided by Weinstein &amp; Piser Funeral Home of Wilmette, IL. A memorial service will be held in New Orleans in January 2020. Details will follow.<\/p>\n<p>Condolences can be sent to Nancy Brennan, 2007 Spruce Drive, Glenview, IL 60025. Memorial donations in Pauline&#8217;s memory are suggested to The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1538 Louisiana Ave., New Orleans, LA 70115.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Pauline%20Greenspan%20Zelden%20dies%20in%20Chicago%3B%20memorial%20planned%20here%20for%20Jan.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[8790,8795,8788,10330],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51923"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51923"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51927,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51923\/revisions\/51927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
