Paula was employed for many years with Creation Windows in Elkhart.  She was a member of the Mishawaka Moose Lodge and loved to travel, especially to Mexico.  Paula also enjoyed going to garage sales and camping at the Yogi Bear Campgrounds in Pierceton, Indiana where she and Bill made many friends and lifelong connections to those they met at the park. Most of all, Paula loved being a grandmother to her grandchildren.  She will be dearly missed.
