My condolences to Paulette's family and close friends. Some years ago I taught with Paulette and I always found her to be a pleasant, jovial, person. I find it wonderful that she took pleasure volunteering at the theaters in Columbus.
God Bless.

Laura, Bob and family, I grieve with you in the loss of Paulette. She talked so often of each of you. Paulette was a fellow teacher and frequent traveling companion in years gone by. She has left me with many warm memories.I had lunch with her the day before Ohio was shut down and held hope we could do it again. Her nieces were a highlight in her life.

Enjoyed Paulette's friendship through the years and rooming with her at Ohio State in the summers. Will miss her funny witticisms and her laughter.

Laura Lou & family,
I have fond memories of Paulette. Our mothers were great friends, so we had known each other from infancy. I loved her sense of humor and intellect. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry that I had lost contact with her in recent years. I know from experience that it is a sobering experience to be the last one living from a nuclear family. May our God of all comfort be your comfort. Hugs!
