Paulette Theresa (Bluth) Chlebeck, age 77, of White Bear Lake, peacefully passed away on September 1, 2025, after bravely facing the challenges of Alzheimer's Disease. Born in Minneapolis on April 19, 1947, Paulette was a proud graduate of Harding High School. For many years, Paulette was a valued member of the First Addition Estate Sales team. In her free time, Paulette volunteered at St. Peter's Catholic grade school; Paulette had a special connection with children. She also led a local Jazzercise group, bringing some fun into fitness.
Those who knew Paulette will remember her with a book always in hand. She had a love of travel which took her to fascinating corners of the world, deepening her appreciation for different cultures. Gifted in the kitchen, she had a knack for cooking and baking. She was also an animal lover and had a respect for nature and all its beauty. Paulette embraced life with a spirit that brought joy to so many, always finding humor in everything, and inspiring those around her to do the same.
