Paula attended Antioch High School and was employed at Baird Ward and H. D. Lee Company for many years. Her family was everything to her and she spent many years watching her granddaughters play in golf tournaments along with watching her son officiate college football. She had a love for dogs and much enthusiasm for growing beautiful flowers around her home. Her passion for her family could not be measured and she was and always will be “Nana” to all that knew her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Virgil H. Beard; parents, Flora Freeze and Paul Freeze; sister, Betty Hobbs and brother, James Freeze.
Paula is survived by her son Tim (Teresa) Beard; granddaughters, Brittney (Scott) Masters and Lindsey (Adam) Greeno; great grandchildren, Harper Masters, Cooper Masters and Hayley Greeno; and sisters, Judy Beard and Ginger (Mark) Lang.
