Paula was a character in our youthful development. She lived in Ute Hall at Western State College. She always had the best music on the turntable. Elton John’sGoodbye Yellow Brick Road and the Doobie Brothers to be specific.
My girlfriend at the time was Kirby McMahon living at the end of the hall. We got married in 1975, 50 years ago. Paula came to our wedding in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I find this obituary now as I will be coming through Denver in a couple of months and was hoping to call on her. So sad that our peers are passing. I am unaware of her circumstance, but wish her circle of energy to be at peace.
