In Memoriam: Pauline Raiff
January 27, 2026
The Board of Directors, Officers, and Staff of Lighthouse Guild mourn the passing of Pauline Raiff, our esteemed colleague and Immediate Past Chair of the Board of Directors.
A devoted supporter of Lighthouse Guild for over 50 years, Mrs. Raiff’s extraordinary dedication and leadership profoundly shaped our organization and advanced our mission. She served with distinction as Chair of the Women’s Division and as Chair of the Board of Directors, and continued her service as a member of the Executive Committee. Her wisdom, commitment, and generosity were instrumental in strengthening Lighthouse Guild and the lives of those we serve.
A graduate of Birch Wathen High School and Barnard College, Mrs. Raiff worked in interior design for over 30 years and spent a decade on Wall Street. She was also the past President of the Regency Whist Club in New York.
Mrs. Raiff’s legacy of service, leadership, and compassion will be remembered with deep gratitude. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to her husband Fred, and to their children and grandchildren.
