Paula graduated from Alter High School, class of 1968. Locally, she was a member of St. Bede Catholic Church, who enjoyed singing with the church choir and painting. Above all else, she cherished being a devoted “Mee Maw” to her four grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving husband, Eugene Menker; son, Anthony Menker (Carolyn); daughter, Michele (Steven Nelson); grandchildren, Christian and Melody Menker and Naomi and Amelia Nelson; brother, Larry Burkhardt (Linda); and sister, Monica Burkhardt.
Mass will be offered at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, May 23 at St. Bede Catholic Church, 3686 Ironbound Rd., Williamsburg, VA.
