Paula Brown Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chapel Hill Mortuary & Memorial Gardens - Cedar Hill on Feb. 3, 2026.
Paula J. Brown, age 63, passed away on December 10, 2025, in St. Clair, Missouri. She was born on May 12, 1962, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Doris (née Nolan) Britt and Paul Huff.

Paula was preceded in death by her parents; her stepfather, Robert Britt; and her two brothers, Dale and Duane Woolford.

Paula truly loved helping others and spending time with her family and friends. Her love language was feeding and entertaining those she cared for most-a trait beautifully reflected in her cherished annual Festive Christmas Dinners, where she spared no detail and went all out to create lasting memories. Her home was always open, welcoming everyone to enjoy a good meal, laughter, and fun.

Above all else, Paula adored her daughter and only child, Katrina Huff, who was the center of her world.

Paula's memory will be forever cherished by her loving daughter, Katrina; her sister, Darlene (Howard) O'Neal; her nieces and nephews; and a host of other family members and friends who were blessed by her generous spirit.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
