Pauline was born on July 24, 1930 in Cherokee County, Alabama, the daughter of the late Thomas "Tom" Kisor and Mamie Ledbetter Kisor.

Mrs. Latta was also preceded in death by her beloved son Mr. Neal Latta on August 19, 2000.
Mrs. Latta was a loving wife who spent her life as a partner, supporter and helpmate to her husband's many businesses throughout the years. She was the matriarch of the family, a loving and devoted Mother to her children, and received much joy from her grandchildren. She will forever live with love in the hearts of those who survive: her daughter Karen Krueger Cook and husband Jake Cook; her son William "Buddy" Latta III and her daughter Melissa Akins and husband Roger Akins.
