Such a strong, brave woman… She left to this world four offspring each with a part of her deep inside them. May they all go forward in life knowing a piece of their mom will always be with them. <3 (extra hugs to Danny & Paulette)
I would like to add my aunt Jan n Jerry Ward in the obituary. I am sorry that in the mix up ur names we’re some how removed. It was totally an accident. I am sorry if it has angered people. Everything happened so fast. N no one was left out on purpose.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. Aunt Paula was a wonderful person. Tried to be rough on the exterior but she was sweet as could be. Sending hugs and love and hope that you find some peace and comfort in knowing you will see her again one day.
Love
My thoughts are with all of you during this time. She was an awesome lady. Grandma and I both enjoyed spending time with her
I am sorry to hear about Paula. I have happy memories of grade school days on the play ground. Neighborhood card parties, box socials, and all of her family that welcomed me when ever I was present. Catherine was my baby sitter when ever my mom and dad needed someone. To Tina
You mirror the friendship that the Niles family always has given and I will always remember Paula.
