Pauline Fish, 96, of Arcadia, California, passed away on Dec. 29, 2018. Services were held at Louis Memorial Chapel and interment was at Mount Carmel Cemetery. Kindly omit flowers; the family suggests contributions to a charity of one’s choice.

She was a member of Congregation Beth Shalom, the Hanick Family Club and Manual High School Alumni Association.
Mrs. Fish was a charter member of the popular Rockettes-style dance group, The Synchopetts, who performed at local hospitals, malls and charitable events.
She was pre-deceased by her parents, Alex and Hannah (Hanick) Stolov; her husband, Sam Fish (2004); her infant brother, Leslie Stolov; and her sisters, Edith Meyers, Ruby Krantz and Trudy Glassman.
Mrs. Fish is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Eli and Laurie Fish, Arcadia, and Jeff and Kathy Fish, Lakewood, California; her sisters, Bobbie Smith, Torrance, California, and Marlene Rafsky, Aurora, Colorado. She is also survived by her dear friend, Shirley Wolman, Pasadena, California. In addition she leaves four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and many nephews and nieces.
