Although Paula was born in Georgia, she grew up in the Kansas City area. She graduated from Raytown High School in the Class of 1990 and continued her education at the University of Central Missouri and William Jewell College, where she enjoyed being a cheerleader. Paula went on to earn her master’s degree in nursing. As a nurse she always took pride in tending to the sick. She loved being a nurse and ability to care for others.

Paula loved the “lake life,” where she could often be found camping, fishing, or simply enjoying the great outdoors. She also enjoyed crafting and took pleasure in creating things in her spare time.

Paula was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, neighbor, and friend. Her life was filled with accomplishments, meaningful relationships, and cherished memories. Her family and friends will forever treasure the love she shared, the memories they made together, and the special place she held in their lives.
