Paula Dianne Serola

She was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Story and her father, Harold Dahlgrin. She is survived by her daughters, Christina Serola and Katie-Marie Serola, along with her grandpuppy Stella who loved her so much!

Paula had a zest for life from an early age. She played many instruments in High School but the one that she was most proud of was the Bagpipes! She was a beach girl and had many fond memories at the beach and on Honeymoon Island.

She moved to Miami, Florida where she had the opportunity to work at the University of Miami. This became her first love- Hurricanes Football. Paula was a die hard supporter of her Canes and never missed a game- we know she will be watching in Heaven! She was an avid reader, and one of the best Italian cooks around! Her famous “sauce” will be missed. She loved music and lots of live concerts. She attended as many concerts as she could including going to see U2 in Dublin, Ireland.

Her greatest love however was the love she had for her two daughters Christina and Katie and was so proud of their accomplishments. She never missed a performance, conference, or competition for either of them. People said you could see how proud and how much she loved them when you looked at her. They will miss her terribly.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Crater Community Hospice at cratercommunityhospice.org or Circle Center Adult Day Service at circlecenterva.org\donate in her name.

There will be a celebration of life for Paula on April 18th from 2-4 pm at Ashlake Community Clubhouse at 7551 Ashlake Commons in Chesterfield, Virginia. Her ashes will be scattered according to her wishes at a later date in a private family ceremony.

Christina and Katie would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Crater Community Hospice.

Paula will be forever missed.
