They settled in Luzerne County, where they raised their five children, daughter, Colette (Peter) Bellwoar, Devon; four sons, Kevin (Robin) Feeney, Wyncote; Paul (Dietre) Feeney, Bethel, Vt.; Thomas Feeney, Shavertown; and Brian (Tracy) Feeney, Shavertown; 14 grandchildren knew her as "Gramie" to Peter Jr., Gregory, Peyton, Ayden, Emma, Dana, Ryan and Bo; as "Biddy" to Jacob, Madie (Casey Fillerup) and Gabriel; and as "Mom Mom" to Chase, Dylan and Ella.

Paula was agreat personal and family friend for over 40 years. She was one of the first to welcome us to her home. She took me under her wing, knowing I was a new transplant to the area and the country. She kept me out of trouble, like accompanying me to my first trip to a bar .(Guess we were the only two in the group who ordered soda! ) She was just always there for me and my family. I will miss her dearly. I will always remember her with a smile. She will always be Feeney for me.

Paula was an exemplary CRNA... she was a great mentor to many of us who were inspired to become anesthetists. She will never be forgotten

Tom, Paul, Brian, Kevin, and Collette,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. She was certainly thought of as one of our second Moms growing up. She was always so welcoming to having a house full of all of your friends. I cannot even begin to count how many times her and your Dad must have woke up and wondered where did all these kids come from. No matter how many were there she was always cooking us three meals a day and of course kept the pantry stocked with countless snacks to feed a bunch of teenage boys. I used your parents as examples to my own children growing up on how much time, effort, and money (and mostly patience) it must have taken to support the entire neighborhood. She never hesitated to throw us all in the car and drive us anywhere we needed or wanted to go especially when Grandma Duda told us to go to church. It was a given that if you stayed at the Feeneys on a Saturday night you better be up Sunday morning to go to St. Therese's.
Please know how much we all respected your Mom and Dad. Our thought and prayers are with you all.
