Gail Lynn Paiva

"On February 11, 2017 heaven welcomed a very special woman; Gail Lynn (Rudolph) Paiva, loving wife, mother, sister, friend, and "Mimi". Born in Auburn, California on June 15, 1947 to Stanley and Dixie (McDowell) Rudolph. Throughout Mom's life she knew no stranger and left no doubt that she loved her children and grandchildren. She showed us in many ways just how much we were loved. Although she will be missed beyond what words can describe, we take great comfort knowing she has joined her son and many more in heaven. Her faith in God and her love for her family is what kept her going day by day; her faith and belief that she would enter those pearly gates. We grieve for her but we also rejoice that she is home. She left behind many memories for her family and friends. She passed on to her children and grandchildren her faith and love for the Lord. For that alone we are blessed. She is survived by her husband Jerry Paiva, children James Bullock, Stephanie Watson (Lance), Matt Paiva (Aimee), and Jason Paiva. Grandchildren Michael Bullock, Emily Bullock, Zachary Watson, Alexis Watson and Alaina Watson. Great Grandchildren Aiden and Evan. Sister Deborah Treguboff (Tim), sister-in-law Bonnie Rudolph-Johnson (Brent), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Preceded in death by her son Paul Bullock, parents Stanley and Dixie Rudolph, brothers Don Rudolph and Stanley Rudolph, Jr. A committal service will be held at graveside at Sylvan Cemetery immediately after the services for those who would like to attend. We welcome all family and friends to gather after the committal service at James' home at 1758 Durham Court, Plumas Lake."
