Paula Jean Harris-Napier

She was born August 16, 1955, in Columbus, Indiana, to the late Edgar D. and Pauline T. (Stucker) Harris.

Paula was a devoted member of Triumphant Baptist Church, where her faith was the foundation of her life. She found comfort and joy in reading her Bible, and she cherished the quiet creativity of wood burning. She also enjoyed bowling and the time it allowed her to spend with family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Randall Harris, and her mother-in-law, Betty Mable Napier.

Paula is survived by her loving husband, Patrick T. Napier of Elizabethtown; her daughter, Amanda K. Koontz-Chambers and her fiancé, Josh Burton, of Columbus; and her siblings, Debbie Castle, Gail Day, Mark Harris, and Richard Harris. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Bailey N. Chambers, Hannah J. Chambers, Reece Ashton K. Chambers, and Ethyn A. Chambers; and one great-grandchild, Aiden Chambers.

Private services will be held at a later date.

Paula’s kindness, faith, and quiet strength will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Memorials in her name are suggested to the American Cancer Society.
