Paula was cherished for her vivacious spirit and her unwavering dedication to her family. She was particularly adored by her children and grandchildren, who were the joy of her life. Paula's selflessness and generosity touched everyone she met, and her witty humor and positive energy were truly infectious. She had an exceptional ability to uplift everyone around her, making each family gathering brighter and more memorable.

She leaves behind a loving family: her son Nicolas Pierce and daughter-in-law Elene, daughter Nancy Pierce and son-in-law Brandon DeSilva, son David Pierce and daughter-in-law Melissa, all of Haverhill. Paula was a proud grandmother to Katerina, Athina, Dylan, Layla, Kyle, and Zoey. She also leaves her brothers James Donahue and wife Joan of Medford, Andrew Donahue and wife Marie of Reading, and Joe Donahue and wife Roberta of Chicago, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Paula had a passion for cooking, decorating, shopping, solving crossword puzzles and activities that brought great joy to her and her family and friends.

In line with her wishes, there will be no public services. A private family gathering will be held to celebrate her life. The family expresses their gratitude for the support and asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to a charity of one's choice in Paula's memory.
