Sweet cousin Paula, what a joy it was to see you and your sibs again a few years ago. I saw your picture just now and began to cry. You will be missed so much. Have fun in heaven!! 😘💕🙏🏻
So many memories growing up together in Herriman. Paula was my best friend. So many laughs regarding motorcycles, cars, trucks, sleepovers, toilet papering capers, you name it… we had stories. You will be missed my friend.
Love and miss you so much sweet sister. Mom and Dad greeted you with open arms I’m sure! So happy your final resting place is right by my house . I’ll be stopping by often🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
Paula was a beautiful little girl. She was followed by the family dog, Brownie, wherever she went. Her passing is a loss for all who knew her.
I had the great pleasure of knowing Paula through our school years and even attended a High School Dance with her many years ago. She was truly one of the kindest funnest girls I ever knew though I haven’t seen her in years she brings back so many lovely memories. My heart goes out to her family. She was such a great person.
Paula was one of the most kind and thoughtful people I’ve ever known. She was always willing to reach out in friendship to anyone. Loved her so much and will miss her.
Paula was the very picture of kindness and generosity of spirit. We enjoyed every time we got to spend precious hours with her- usually included much laughter and just joy. She was a very special woman and we love her much!

Paula was such a sweet friend and co-mom to my children. Our kids grew up together in Draper and practically lived at each of houses . We had so many mom chats and visits and I always knew both her and her husband would always be there for our family if we ever needed anything. I’m so thankful to have shared those wonderful years with her and her family. God bless and so much love to you all. ♥️
