Paulette Thompson Obituary
Paulette raised 3 kids and put herself through nursing school in Marshalltown. She worked and retired after 20 years at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown.
Paulette moved to Missouri after the tornado destroyed her house in 2018. Her son lives there and she had some amazing neighbors that are just like family to all of us.
Paulette loved doing crafts, sewing, going to see the freedom rock every year, and spending time with friends and family. She was a wonderful Mom, Grandma, Aunt, and friend who will be greatly missed.
Paulette was preceded in death by her mother, father, and her sister. She is survived by her 3 children: Gina (Dave) Maas of Eldora, IA, Gabe (Shelby) Thompson of St. Joseph, MO, and Jennifer(Jamie) Davis of Gilbert, IA, six grandkids, and 2 great grandkids, and one brother of Marshalltown Iowa.
Paulette was cremated and there will be a celebration of life at a later date at the Iowa Veterans Cemetery in Adel, Iowa.

I went to church with Paulette when she lived in Marshalltown. The tornado really took a toll on her home and I was sad to see her move so far away. She was always so kind. I loved her infectious laugh.

I am the first grandchild, and since my great grandma, Irene was alive when I was little, I had to have 2 different names to differentiate between my grandmas. So, my grandma, Paulette, was given the name Other Grandma, and I've called her that ever since. I love you, Other Grandma and miss you so much!!! Honey Bunny.
