Paula was born in Pasadena, Tx August 28, 1943. As a young child the family moved to Lampasas County where she was reared. She attended Adamsville Elementary School and Junior High School. She graduated from Lampasas High School in 1961. After graduating high school she attended Scott and White School of Nursing In Temple,Tx and earned her Registered Nurse. She married Carl Grady White on April 18, 1964 and they made Killeen, TX their home, raising three sons.

After working for several physicians in the area and Director of Nursing at Bell Haven Nursing Home, she settled in as a school nurse for the Killeen Independent School District. She worked there many years before retiring. She made many wonderful friends during her time with the school district and greatly enjoyed working with and caring for the children at her schools.

In her retirement she enjoyed volunteering with Killeen ISD’s HARP program at the Killeen Independent School District Clothes Closet and attending “Club” with her dear friend Emmadell Vernon. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Killeen, where she had many dear friends and sang in the church choir.

Paula will be missed by family and friends, but comfort can be taken in the fact that she is in God’s arms now, whole again and reunited with her husband Carl.
