Paula Marie Daub

August 18, 1948 – January 17, 2024

Beloved Kansas City dancer, singer and entertainer Paula Marie (Tyrrell) Daub passed away January 17, 2024, at home surrounded by her loving family after a 14-month battle against pancreatic cancer.

During her entertainment career, Paula was a competitor, performer and instructor of swing, ballroom, and classic belly dancing, teaching privately, at William Jewell College as well as Walter's Dance Center and more.

An entrepreneur, Paula owned and operated Paula Marie’s Singing Telegrams. Paula co-founded Culture Through Ballroom Dance, a non-profit with free ballroom dance instruction to children, teaching respect through dance culture and etiquette while building self-confidence.

An avid sports fan, Paula was a regular on KC local sports talk radio, giving her insights on the Kansas City Royals baseball and Chiefs football situations. There is not enough time to go into all the different aspects of her life but... those who knew her loved her dearly and she will be missed!
