Paulette graduated from Kokomo High School and later in life earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Indiana University. She dedicated her career to caring for others, working at various nursing homes and serving as a home health care nurse.

A true pillar of support, Paulette was an active and enthusiastic participant in her sons’ athletic lives, always there on the sidelines, cheering them on at every game and event.

Her commitment to their success was evident in her involvement with the Tri-Central Booster Club, where she worked tirelessly running the concession stands to help raise funds for the teams. Her efforts in strengthening the Tri-Central sports teams were great, and she touched the lives of many athletes through her efforts.
