Beloved wife of David for 53 years. Loving mother of Suzanne (Michael) Vida and Amy (Shane) O’Connell. Proud grandmother of Calvin and Audrey O’Connell and step-grandmother to Tricia and Bridget Vida.
Paula was born in Wyandotte, Michigan in 1945 and lived on Grosse Ile, meeting David there during high school. Paula later became a teacher and spent her career teaching many different levels of elementary school students.
Paula loved her family, reading, knitting, traveling, cooking and music. Those whose lives she has touched will remember Paula for her kindness, caring, giving, and friendly disposition.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to Careline Hospice for their compassionate care, especially Betsy, Sarah, and Amanda.
Due to the virus, a celebration of Paula’s life will be postponed until a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family would like donations to be sent to Haven House of East Lansing & The American Cancer Society.
