Wayne Lowell Paulson was born on September 25, 1936, in Cokato to Arnold and Lillian (Bogart) Paulson. Wayne was united in marriage to Nyla Paulson. Together they raised their five children in Kimball where they resided for the past 60 years.
He carved a notable career as a contractor in the construction industry. Renowned for his skill and precision, he took pride in building homes that became beloved havens for families. His talent extended beyond construction; he had a real passion for woodworking and a deep appreciation for old cars. Wayne really loved working at French Lake Auto during his retirement years.
Wayne was an active member of his community, joining the Kimball Lions Club and the Kimball Snowmobile Club, where he enjoyed creating memories and forging friendships that will last a lifetime. His contributions to the community and the lives he touched will be deeply missed.
