Not sure what to say?

I met Paula when she was working at the Capitol during legislative sessions. She was one of the kindest and most sincere people you could ever meet. She epitomized the term "Southern hospitality" and made you feel like family. I am a better person for having known her.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Paula through The Woman´s Board of Westminster University. She always had a smile and a compliment to share. She was full of smart conversation and wit. She was a class act, someone to look up to. We´ll surely miss that amazing Southern lady.

Paula was a wonderful member of The Woman’s Board of Westminster University. She will remain in our memories and will surely be missed.

Whispering Love Arrangement - BASKET INCLUDED

Paula was a part of our family for over four decades, and her presence shaped so much of my father's life. Their marriage brought him joy, companionship, and a sense of home. I truly believe he loved her deeply. Paula was devoted to Julie and her boys, and her focus on them was unwavering. She was nana to our kids and grandkids as well. We have many fond memories of family trips and gatherings. I worked at the capitol when she was a senator. I saw first hand how deeply she cared for...

I´m deeply saddened by Paula´s passing. She was a dear friend and colleague in the Utah Legislature for many years. She was a wonderful mentor. I will always cherish the memories of our time together. Sending my love to Rod, Julie and all of the family.

An amazing nurse and colleague.

The first time that I met Paula was at an Utah Nurses Association conference and she wore a wonderful stylish hat. Hats were rarely seen and she wore this very well. I later worked with her at the UNA and in the State Legislature. She sponsored a bill that added funding to a line item for school nursing that effectively reduced the enormous ratio of school nurse to student from 1 to 9000 to 1 to 5000. She worked tirelessly with UNA members to revise the Nurse Practice Act and it passed. I...

To Paula´s family & loved ones, I send my heartfelt condolences during this time of mourning. I am so honored to having had Paula in my life. I want to share my last letter to Paula: Paula, my dear nurse friend, colleague, fun loving, walking talking, dancing friend. I miss you already. Recently you said to me, "Well, Sheila, I guess you can say `I led a full life.´" "Well, Paula, those were the last words you so carefully put together for me and they fill my sad heart with love and...
