Paula was one of the most remarkable women we have ever met!
I first met her at BLLC and a friendship remained.
Tough was her middle name, she rarely ever complained about anything except wanting to do things better.
A good friend who will be sadly missed by many and so pleased that Paula was a part of our life.
Sending my deepest condolences on loss of your mum (Aunty Paula).
So many memories of play dates at your house.
Sending you all lots of hugs.
Love Michelle
Thinking of you all today.
Fond memories of Paula
It is with great sadness we say goodbye to our dear neighbour Paula.
When I first moved into the neighbourhood 20 years ago, Paula, Murray and Brian instantly made me feel welcome and reassured me that if I ever needed anything, they were only next door. True to their word whenever I needed a hand, they were only too willing to help.
Paula was the most genuinely caring, kind and generous person with a straight shooting, “tell it how it is” personality that made her one of a kind.
We will miss her visits to drop off boxes of cucumbers and tomatoes, vegies, bread, donuts and home-made treats (relish/pickles, walnut loaf, and her famous jelly cakes to name a few). She always had something for Emi and Emi loved her dearly.
To Jules, Brian, Deb, Bernie and families, we send our love and sincerest condolences. The neighbourhood has lost a truly wonderful person and will certainly not be the same without her.
May she finally be at peaceful rest with her beloved Muzza
Love Sam, Ross and Emilia xo
