She loved old school Motown music and you could often hear it playing and her and her siblings singing throughout the house.

Paula was #5 of 11 children and at 1803 Chapel Street is where she left her mark. There was always a lot of love and family under that roof and she made sure all were well fed with her famous spaghetti. She also made her mark on Clifton Park’s swimming pool where she was affectionately known to be the life of the pool and all the fun for adults and kids. Paula was a very loving and giving person, accept when it came to her Pepsi. You had to be really special to even get a sip!
