Paula's obituary
Paula was born in Brooklyn, NY on August 8, 1962, and moved to New Jersey as a young child. She was a graduate of Hightstown High School and was a Pre-med student at Trenton State College, class of 1984. She lived for a number of years in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she had a career in the Health and Wellbeing Industry. Over the years, she was employed as a sales manager for Herbalife and Melaleuca.
In addition to her career in the Health and Wellbeing Industry, Paula had many interests which she was passionate about. She loved martial arts and studied TKD (Tae Kwon Do) at ATA Karate school, eventually obtaining her Black Belt, which lead to teaching children in Arizona. A foodie at heart, Paula spent many years in the catering business and managed several local restaurants in the Princeton area. She is known locally for her "secret chicken wing sauce recipe" developed for Anthonys Chicken & Ribs in Hightstown, NJ. She loved tennis and was a particular fan of the US Open. She loved to travel and discover different cultures. Paula’s friends remember her as being a lover of music. In addition to being the biggest Barbara Streisand fan, often singing Streisand songs and watching her movies over and over again, she also loved Broadway shows and attending the Opera. When not traveling or attending live performances, Paula enjoyed watching Law and Order, Covert Affairs, The Fosters, and many other television shows.
A memorial service for friends and relatives will be held at a later date in NJ when Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. Paula’s wishes were that her final resting place be in Scottsdale, Arizona where a second smaller service will be held.
