Paula retired from her production job at Delco Electronics in Kokomo in 2000. She was a devoted family mother.

She was an avid fan of the Hallmark Lifetime television channel. She was a former member of Heartland Church.

Paula loved everyone!!! But most importantly, Paula was a loving and selfless wife and mother to her family. Her positive, generous and affectionate presence was a constant confirmation of her kindness, love and true faith. She was the sweetest person-always and was one of the most kind and thoughtful people the world has ever known. Paula was loved by all who knew her, and she will be greatly missed… especially her lovable sense of humor.
