I am saddened to hear this. I was fortunate to work with Paula at WRMC, in her early years as an RN. She always had a smile even when our tasks were difficult. I especially felt close to her, having also graduated from Paris, and being friends with her younger sister, Janice. God bless you all through this difficult time.
Paula was an inspiration and sweet mentor to me as a new board member for the Home Care Association of Arkansas. I called on her several times for help as a Director of Home Health for Unity Health; she was always patient, gracious and kind towards me. Our last time together was special before she left our association board to focus on being a Hospice Director. Several of us met on a rainy evening at Cajuns Wharf after her last board meeting and she came driving up in this sweet little black sports car that she referred to as her mid-life crisis. What an evening filled with laughter and reminiscing. Paula thank you for your optimistic outlook and kindnesses we all experienced through you and all you did to promote Home Care and Hospice. We will miss you greatly!

I was saddened to hear of Paula's passing. She was my supervisor at WRMC in both case management and in home health.
Paula was a wonderful leader. She always had a bright outlook and optimism. Even when difficult situations arose she would think of a creative and beneficial way to handle them. She was truly an innovator if there is such a title in healthcare! She will be missed💜
May Jim and the girls find comfort in how much she was loved and appreciated in the community.
I went to high school with Paula, can't believe she is gone. Prayers of comfort for all the family, she will be missed.
Jim,
Paula will be greatly missed. She had a wonderful smile and compassion for people that will carry on through you and your daughters. Thinking of you and your family. Prayers

Paula was a wonderful lady. She was the Director for Washington Regional Hospice during my time of employment there and she was a wonderful boss and so compassionate towards the patients that we cared for. She had a passion for serving others. I am sorry to hear of her passing.
My deepest sympathy to Jim, Kristen, and Julia. I had the pleasure of working with Paula for eight years. She loved her family and would light up whenever she talked about them. May your heart find healing in cherished memories. May your spirit find comfort in the thoughts and prayers of those who care about you.Sharing in your sorrow.
Sincerely,
Claudia Williams

Lloyd and I are so sorry to learn of Paula's illness and passing. Though we have not remained in contact, we have great memories Paula and Jim as part of softball games and tournaments, camping, breaking camp in the rain and Paula's sweet smile. You are in our prayers. May the memories of your good times be comfort in this time of loss.
Lloyd and Margaret Brown
