Paula was a devoted wife, loving mother, and doting grandmother. She is survived by her husband of 24 years, Samuel Hill, her children Christine Langford-Dixon (Khalid), Nannette Langford (Brittany), Devan Allseitz (Brandin), and Shannon Hill. She also cared for her nephews, Adrian Coles (Alexis) and Julian Coles, as if they were her own.

Additionally, Paula worked as a real estate agent, alongside her eldest daughter.

An unwavering servant of God, Paula faithfully served at Revolution Church DC. As an ordained minister, she officiated numerous wedding unions. However, her greatest passion was her non-profit organization, Daughters of Promise, which aimed to enrich the lives of women at every stage.
