Paula C. Bober, 70, of Dix, Illinois, passed away at 3:57 am at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri. She was born March 20, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois to the late Paul Cermak and Jean (Poteraske). Paula married Rick Bober on January 16, 1982 and he survives.
In addition to her husband, Paula is survived by her son, Charles Bober; grandson, Logan Bober; and sister, Kathy Villafuerte.
She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers, Larry, Ray and Dale Cermak.
Paula was a warrior in Christ - even in her last days she continued to give God praise. She was thankful and showed gratitude even to her last breath. Paula was a believer in family and taking care of one another.
