JENNY PAULSEN Obituary

JENNY PAULSEN With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Jenny Jo Paulsen, a woman of exceptional grace and style, who left this world on August 5, 2025, at the age of 76. Born on December 11, 1948, Jenny's life was a vibrant tapestry of love, creativity, and devotion. For 52 years, she was a distinguished cosmetologist, a profession through which she shared her artistry with celebrities, friends, and loyal clients alike. Her passion for beauty was also expressed through her love of painting, creating a legacy of art for her family to cherish. Jenny's life was a symphony of love and music. She found joy in listening to and playing music, a passion that harmonized with her adventurous spirit for travel. A devout member of her church, she generously gave her time to teaching Sunday school, shaping the values of the youngest members of her congregation. Above all, Jenny's greatest love was her family. She was the beloved wife of Robert Paulsen Sr. and a devoted mother to her children: Lonnie West, Lesa West-Wells, Leslie Conner, Robert Paulsen Jr., and Kimberly Miller. She was a doting "Nana" to her grandchildren: Skye Chebultz, Lapyr Shay, Jeremy West, Max Doby, Cody West, Megan Paulsen, Tony Newman, Josie McCoy, Christy McCoy, Tucker Cross, and Abby Cross. Her heart overflowed with joy for her 15 great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life. Jenny's elegance, warmth, and unwavering love will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Visitation is on September 5, 2025, 6p.m.-8p.m. and a Celebration of Jenny's life will be held on September 6, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. All services will be held at the Lighthouse Church. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring the memory of this remarkable woman. Services in care of Dengel and Son Mortuary-Paola Chapel.
