Paulette Wheatle

Paulette then moved from Washington DC at about age 5 to San Antonio, Tx where she graduated from Phyllis Wheatley High School. Shortly after finishing high school, she moved to Los Angeles, CA where she started working in the Hotel industry and pursued a modeling career.

Paulette is survived by her 3 sons Michael, Tony (Anthony), and David. Daughter-In-Laws Elayne and Cecelia, Brothers Carter, and Kenny, 5 grandchildren Anaja, Anthony, David Isaiah, Jenaiya, and Alexis, 1 great grandson Bellamy, including cousins, nieces, and nephews, as well as a boat load of loving friends.

Paulette then moved us to Las Vegas, NV in the early 1970’s where she continued working in the hotel industry for the next 8 years until moving back to Los Angeles in 1978 and worked for Amtrak railroad for over 20 years until she retired.

She finally ended up in Glendale, AZ since 2020 where she eventually went to eternal peace/rest.

Our mother was a beautiful soul that enjoyed fun times at the beach or just to reflect and ponder life, she was a very avid jazz music enthusiast. While in Las Vegas she was part of the Las Vegas Jazz society. She was a fun, free spirited woman that loved her boys and made many sacrifices to ensure we had everything we needed. She loved striking up conversations with people and sharing interests, life, and experiences. Just as much as she was loving, she was also very strict and kept us in line. Finally, she LOVED her Lakers… How bout them Lakers?!
