1965 ~ 2020
Our sweet daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Paula Hellstrom Davies left this world on May 13, 2020. She fought hard to overcome a myriad of health problems.
Paula was born on May 14, 1965 in Salt Lake City, UT to Carolyn Erickson and Paul Richard Hellstrom. She graduated from Skyline High School and attended the University of Utah. She lived the last 31 years in northern California. In 1998 she married Tom Davies. She was our angel songbird that found fun and joy with family, music, horses, her dogs, cooking and any garden she could tend to. She lived her life to the fullest and had a great abundance of love for everyone.
Paula is survived by her mother, Carolyn Kipp, her husband, Tom Davies and brothers, Scott (Julie) and Mark (Betsy). She is also survived by nephews Charlie, Ben, Noah, and Eli and niece Sara; stepbrothers Bruce (Kay), Scott (Paula), and Blake Kipp, Scott Muir (Pam) and stepsister Kathy (Whit) Clayton and their families.
A private graveside service will be held at Mt Olivet Cemetery. A celebration of life will be scheduled for late Summer.
The family expresses thanks to the many doctors and nurses at Intermountain Health Care who cared so much for Paula.

Paula ALWAYS had the biggest, nicest and most friendly smile. She was such a welcoming and accepting soul. We had plans to get together for lunch when she was in town next and the news of her passing breaks my heart.
Im so happy to call her a friend.

Im so sorry to hear about Paulas untimely death. I have fond memories of carpooling with her to the swim team practice in ungodly darkness before daylight savings, Which at age 16 was hell! I remember Talking about our favorite Led Zeppelin moments InThe song remains the same when it played at the Starship theatre...I remember being in Girls chorus with her in Miss Taggerts class at Churchill banging on the piano with her wrapped hand... I remember she moved to the Bay Area same time as me , 30+ years ago, though 45 min apart...She often referred on Facebook to her beloved vegetable garden & German shepherds. We always messaged that we should get together because we were 2 Skyline Eagle transplants living in the bay area...but we never got around to it.
Life is so short... so sorry her life was cut short, just seems so unfair. I send Heartfelt condolences to her loved ones....

I was so sorry to learn of Paula's passing. She was the sweet, gracious daughter of my friend Carolyn. She worked hard in everything she did.
She loved cooking and her family. She will be greatly missed. Her family can feel solace in the warm help and care that they gave her.
