Mike and Linda Pauli Family Scholarship
The Mike and Lind Pauli and Family Scholarship was established in 2022 to support worthy Marlington seniors pursuing two-year, tech, or trade programs.
Mike (’68) and Linda (Hoover) Pauli (’68) started dating as sophomores at Marlington and married in1969. Mike began performing electrical work as an electrical apprentice in the early 1970s. After serving in the U.S. Army, Mike founded Pauli Electric in 1975, as a one-man shop. Early on, the company performed primarily residential and farm work. In the early years, Linda helped with billing and administrating payroll.
The company's reputation for quality work grew through the years as did its size. Today, Pauli Electric provides residential, farm, Industrial, and commercial electrical work, and services for fire alarm systems, and generators. The company has 18 dedicated employees, a number of whom are fellow Marlington graduates. Linda supports the business by reviewing business documents and policies and managing their real estate.
Mike serves as a Lexington Township trustee. He’s active in the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, the Alliance Area Development Foundation, the Independent Electrical Contractors Association, the Better Business Bureau, and the Eastern Stark County Safety Council. He served on the Stark Development Board and was Chamber president, and in 2007 was the recipient of the chamber’s Spirit of Enterprise award. Personal memberships include the Alliance Country Club and Alliance Elks. “The community is good to me, so it’s easy to give back,” said Mike. “I enjoy working with people and have made a lot of good relationships through service."
Linda earned her Nursing Degree from Walsh University, her bachelor of Arts in Management from Malone University, and has completed post-graduate work at the University of Akron. She has a Licensed Practical Nurse certificate from Timken Mercy Hospital School of Practical Nursing, an Emergency Medical Technician certificate from Alliance Community Hospital, and a Pharmacy Technician Certificate from Stark State College.
With a passion for education and lifelong learning, Linda served 25 years as the Director of the Student Health Center at the University of Mount Union where she established many health-related educational opportunities for students including writing a health newsletter and establishing a health fair for students.
She was the first to obtain additional credentialing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, recognizing the specialty of College Health Nursing and showing expertise in that field of nursing.
Linda has served on many community and professional boards, including the American Heart Association(Alliance Division), Alliance Area Domestic Violence Shelter, Alliance YWCA, and Alliance Woman’s Club.
The couple has four children, all Marlington graduates. Daughter Michelle (Pauli) Bade (’90) lives with her husband Chris in Muncie, Indiana where she is a music teacher. Their sons Michael (’93) and his wife, Brenda, Matthew (’00), and his wife, Jamie, Mark (’02), and his wife Kristen, all live in the area. Michael and Matthew work with their father at Pauli Electric. Mark is employed by Kenan Advantage in North Canton. Mike and Linda have 12 grandchildren
