Paula L. Blose

Paula Lee Blose, 57, of Lowber, passed away on Aug. 7, 2025, surrounded by her children and sister. She was preceded in death by her parents, Larry and Phyllis Blose of Lowber. She is survived by her son, Maj. Jedd Ferris, U.S. Army, his wife, Nikki, and their three boys, Jack, Ben, and Luke; her daughter, Brenna Ferris; sister Christine and her husband, John Kuczler; nieces Lilly Naser and Maya Kuczler; her aunt, Paulette, and uncle, Bill; cousins, Jeff, Megan and her daughter, Abby, Debbie, Micky and her son, David, and Patty and her kids, Amanda, Butch, Matt, and Joe; and many amazing friends whom she considered family. Paula was a force of nature with a vivacious presence. She returned to school later in life with a passion to make a difference in the lives she could touch through service coordination. She loved her family dearly, a good cup of coffee, wildflowers in May, the mountains of Sigel, cherry tomatoes, and her cats, Magnum, Dixie, Callie, and Maisy. She enjoyed talking anyone's ear off who would listen and road trips to see her grandbabies. When asked what her greatest accomplishment in life was, her answer was always her children, and she believed nothing she did in life could compare to the great gift of being their mom. The life she led, and the examples she gave of kindness and selflessness, are rarely seen in today's world. She was the proud carrier of many titles: Marmee, mom, GiGi, sister, Auntie Ick, daughter, and friend. We are not hosting traditional funeral services but are planning a celebration at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to a local food pantry or women's shelter of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to J. WILLIAM MCCAULEY JR.
