JoAnn was born in Goldsboro, NC on November 15th, 1948, to Norman and Bertha Evans. After graduating from Wallace-Rose Hill High School, she attended Campbell College. On September 1, 1968, she married her high school sweetheart, James Paul. They made their first home in Davis, NC and were members of Davis First Baptist Church. Together they devoted their lives to the work of the Lord and to their family as they served in ministry for nearly 30 years.
JoAnn was a musician who sang, played the piano, organ, and guitar. She started singing in church as a young girl with her brother and sister in the Evans Trio. Her music was her ministry to those she served in the church. You could always find her in the choir or playing the piano or organ. Her singing brought joy and comfort to her friends, family and church families.
She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Paul Horn and husband John F. Horn, Jr. of Mebane; sons, Jonathan Normal Paul and fiancé Amy Pullen of Virginia Beach, VA and Jeffrey W. Paul and wife Aislinn M. Paul of Denver, CO; sister, Linda Wells Mattoon of Wallace; nephew, Hugh Evans Wells; grandchildren, Addison M. Paul and Preslee E. Paul; and many other family members who were dear to her heart.
JoAnn was preceded in death by her husband; mother and father, Norman and Bertha Evans; and brother, Dennis Evans.
