She worked with many friends at places like Adrian’s, The Cosmo, and Arlene’s Flowers. She was a long-time devoted member of the Tri-Cities Industry Kiwanis Club where she rose to hold the title of Lieutenant Governor. She was a member and regular volunteer at the Richland Church of the Nazarene. She produced many handmade quilts that she gave with love to family and friends. Paula loved being with family and friends at youth sporting events, holidays, and certainly the hydroplane races. She will be remembered for many things, but she will be missed because she was special to every person who was blessed to know her.
