Paulette loved to dance with Helmut whenever the opportunity arose and this was one of her last wishes that she achieved. A game of cribbage or euchre was a daily ritual over her and Helmut's many years together.

She loved to travel. From a longtime snowbird in Florida, to cruising a variety of destinations, she and Helmut had many adventures.

As a fixture on the garage sale circuit, Paulette was always bargaining her way to an amazing deal to share with friends and family.

She was a strong women who stood up not only for herself, but her friends and family whenever they asked her assistance.
