I knew Paulette for over 40 years and what I appreciated most about her is that she was consistent and treated everyone the same. She was not pretentious in any way...she was a genuine, fun-loving lady. I, as well as my family will miss her dearly. Rest in God Paulette..you fought a good fight.

To the Jefferson Family. May all our prayers be heard at this time Father God. Paulette was an exceptional person with a beautiful demenour. Her soft voice was comforting on occasions when one was feeling lost or down. The last time I spoke to Paulette was on Calumet Day, When Everette was pushing her thru the park.I was grateful enough to speak and give her a friendly kiss on her cheek. No matter what her condition was. She always had that electric smile. We all will miss Paulette. Now that she's gone home w/our heavenly Father God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus. She'll now see her Dad and Darcus waiting for her at those pearly gates of heaven,when her name is called. To God be the Glory!!! The Coty Family and Club Unlimited Inc.

To Mrs. Jefferson and the family - I am deeply saddened by the loss of Paulette. She is one of my dearest and oldest friends. I can remember our party days and the fun that we had. We even learned to drive together..she drove a Cadillac and I drove a Buick ..great times and good memories. And even though we had grown apart.. the essence of our friendship remained.. and I will miss that. Rest in peace Paulette.
