Paula had a deep love for crafting and making things with her hands.

Her crafts were more than projects, they were expressions of her love. Paula was also known for her sharp wit and playful teasing. If she picked on you, it usually meant she cared about you. Her humor filled rooms, sparked laughter, and kept everyone on their toes. Life was never dull when she was around. Above all, she loved her family and those close to her.
