    We’re so sorry to hear the news. It’s never easy to lose someone you love. A sibling is especially hard, because it’s like a friend and family member wrapped in one. I hope you’re able to find comfort with Mary and the family. Our love and prayers are with you guys. Mary, Robert, & Sydney

    Tom and Matt, I am so sorry to hear about Paula’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor over the years. She and your Mom were always there for us these last few years. I am sorry that I wasn’t there for her more. Sending prayers and love to you all.

    I enjoyed working with Paula at Greece Historical Society and was delighted when she became a resident at Village at Unity where I reside. We had a brief time together here, and I will miss her.



  12. Carol on March 27, 2021 at 10:53 pm

    Paula, Missed you at Church these past weeks, knew you were attending at Unity. You always were smiling and cheerful. I have been so blessed to know you and be your friend. Will continue to pray for you and hope someday to meet again. Love and regards Carol Cropo



  13. Carol on March 27, 2021 at 10:58 pm

    Paula was always cheerful and smiling at Church and trying to do something to help others with taking communion to others. It was a joy to know her and I am happy she was my friend. I will miss her. My sympathy to her family. The St. Lawrence family will miss her. God bless Carol Cropo

    So sorry for your loss. Paula was such a caring person. She sent the most heartfelt notes being in times of trouble or a happy event. She was like her mom in that respect. We were blessed to have her in our life. Tom and Debi Friday.



  17. Randy Conlon on March 28, 2021 at 5:06 pm

    I worked with Paula at Kodak and will always remember her hard working attitude and her great sense of humor. She would come up with so many jokes, and just keep you smiling. I wish I would have never lost contact with her after we left Kodak. God Bless Paula and her family



  18. Gina Hall on March 28, 2021 at 6:45 pm

    I am so saddened to hear the news of Paula’s passing. I fondly remember seeing her in Wegmans and we always stopped to talk. She seemed far to young to leave this world. Blessings to her family as you mourn her passing. Her mother was my fathers (Gerard DeMeyer) cousin.



  19. Paul and gerri demeyer on March 28, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    God bless Paula may she rest in peace



  20. Patricia Tracy on March 28, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    Paula was our classmate at Cardinal Mooney High School. In 2019 the Class of 1969 celebrated our 50th reunion. It was such a pleasure to see Paula and share that Mooney spirit once again. Sending heartfelt sympathy and prayers to her friends and family.



  21. Mollie Berkeley on March 28, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Will miss the smiles, spirited laughter and the sunny disposition of our friend at St. Lawrence. Paula, we will remember and pray for you and hope you will remember and pray for us.



  24. Nancy Lader on March 29, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    Family of Paula, I am so very sorry for your loss. I met Paula many years ago from St. John’s. She always had a smile when greeting you. Paula would always ask how everyone was doing. She was a kind and caring lady. She will always be remembered. You will always have your many good memories to carry with you. Nancy Lader

  39. Alice Koerner (niece) on March 29, 2021 at 6:55 pm

    Always welcoming us with a smile and concern. Truly available when in her presence. What a gift she gave me (us).



  40. Marty Wooledge on March 30, 2021 at 1:38 am

    I will always remember your happy smile, your wave across the pews at Mass at St. Lawrence, and your dedication to the parish. Rest In Peace with the Lord.



  41. William Krug on March 30, 2021 at 5:53 am

    Dave, Rick, and I grew up working with our cousin Paula and her family on our grandma’s farm. The experience was like having a second family. She will be missed most for her good nature and heart of gold, which never waned at any time, under any circumstances.



  42. Mike and Val Symonds on March 30, 2021 at 9:58 am

    Paula is a caring soul. She will be missed. Paula and Jeannette spoke to each other every day. I’m sure they are “catching up”. I’ve no doubt that Paula is in a beautiful mansion that our Father built for her and happy to be with her Sister and parents, once again. Until we meet again, Paula say hello to everyone for us!



  43. Matt on March 30, 2021 at 12:10 pm

    Thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.



  44. Patricia & Gordon Rask on March 30, 2021 at 12:48 pm

    We will miss our friend Paula. We met at St. Lawrence Church many years ago and and became friends. Paula was a great funny person. During Covid we would talk on the phone nearly every week. I will miss her, may she rest in peace.



  45. Vicky Trabold on March 30, 2021 at 6:19 pm

    I have known Paula for years. We worked for Dr. Palmer and had many good times. We have always kept in touch by quick visits and cards. She has not felt good for a long time, but I never expected to see her picture and notice so soon. I will miss her and our friendship. My sympathy to her family. Vicky Trabold



  46. Janet Winter on April 1, 2021 at 6:03 am

    Paula took computer training with us (Accent Training) when she first left Kodak. We got to know her quite well during that time. Later, she again was a part of our training classes when she worked at GM. Paula was very special person. For a long time, we kept in contact. But, the last few years we lost touch. We still remember her fondly. Our sympathy to your family. – Bob and Jan Winter



  47. Michele newman on May 11, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    Dear Paula, I know we will meet again. I miss you already. I was shocked, you were gone before I could say good bye! I hope you didnt suffer. I hope you drew close to God. I HOPE and pray you knew I was always praying and thinking of you, now you are always smiling, dancing and singing in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, how exciting THAT is. I LOVE you my dear friend, pleas say hi to your precious Mom for me! Cheers till we meet again!
