Paula Pendleton
Paula was an incredible human. Strong in every way, loving Mother, wife and sister and daughter and Grandmother! Her fight with Parkinson’s started when she was diagnosed at about 70 years old. She lived with it 19 years. Mom passed January 24, 2019, she was 89 years of age.
She never complained about the disease. Not even one time. She was such an avid reader and walker.. the past 6 years were the hardest when she couldn’t drive and the orthostatic hypotension was getting the best of her, she bravely moved to assisted living home and made peace with her new life. Always positive and smiling, even when her ability to walk and feed herself went by the wayside. she was an amazing Mom and I miss her so much but her memory, love and strength will always live on with me and her family,
