Paula was such a unique woman. I loved to hear her stories and some of the fascinating things she did. I have missed her but hold her warmly in my memories. Rest in peace Paula.

I just saw that Paula passed. As a member of Fremont Community Theatre, I have missed seeing Paula in the front row of our plays cheering us on. She was so supportive and loved socializing with our staff and actors. She will be missed!

Paula is a first cousin on her father’s side (Jacoby) and I have known her many years with many happy memories of her. I lost track a few years ago.
I came upon the obit and was saddened to know she went home.
She was, indeed, a spark for life.
Bless her and her family.
