Paula Melessa Ward-Evans

Devoted mother, accomplished musician, and elementary school teacher, Paula Melissa Ward-Evans’ love of life did not end with her death. Paula passed away on January 14, 2022 at the age of 53 after a courageous battle with breast cancer, surrounded by her loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

She was a gentle soul with a kind and loving spirit. She will be greatly missed.
