Paula was an avid gardener who enjoyed working in her yard and garden with John, her loving husband of 37 years. Their yard has always been admired by all.
She enjoyed spending time with her many grandchildren. She provided a warm loving lap to hop up on, continuous popsicles and a comforting and safe place where the word "no" was never allowed.

She will be deeply missed by her family and her many very special lifelong friends including her "Bank Girls" who would often drop by or meet to enjoy a glass of wine.

Services will be private for the family.

There will be a visitation 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, July 22, 2023 at the First Presbyterian Church in Kennett.
