Mrs. Pauline Murchison Hocutt

As difficult as the loss of a loved one is, it’s extremely difficult to say “Until We Meet Again” on special occasions such as Christmas. The staff and management of E.M. Matthews Funeral Home, are embracing the loving family of Mrs. Pauline Murchison  Hocutt as they remember the legacy of this precious jewel. Mrs. Hocutt, retired from life’s fitful fevers on Monday, December 15, 2025 at her residence in Selma, NC.

The Obsequies for Mrs. Hocutt will begin on Friday, December 26, 2025 with a public visitation between the hour of 5pm and 7pm in the Life Celebration Chapel at E.M. Matthews Funeral Home in Goldsboro, NC. The Triumphant Life and Legacy Celebration will be called to order on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at 1pm at Central Heights FWB Church. The Compassionate Professionals of E.M. Matthews will climax the celebrating events by escorting Mrs. Hocutt’s delicate temple along with her adored relatives and friends, to Evergreen Cemetery in Princeton, NC, where there will be an elegant and intimate commital service by the graveside. It will be in this designated location that Mrs. Pauline will remain, until Gabriel blows his trumpet and the King of Kings descends from Heaven, with one foot on the celestial seas and one foot on a crimson cloud, commanding all of His beloved children to enter into their mansion beyond the skies. 

Guests are being received at the residence located at 814 Luther Dr. Goldsboro, NC, where they will also assemble for the Prestigious E.M. Matthews Motorcade.
