We had lots of”adventures” before we both married, and the four of us lots of fun times . They are both missed
May God wrap His loving arms around each of you, hold you close to Him and give you comfort now and in the days ahead is our prayer for you.
Angie and I are so sorry for your loss, our prayers are with you.

I am sorry for your loss. Paulette always had a smile and a great bubbly laugh. She will be missed.
I am a South Green “baby” and Mrs. Peil was my first grade teacher. I vividly remember where her classroom was, her radiant smile and pretty hair. She was a beautiful person inside and out. My deepest condolences to her family! Love, Emily Jane Burch Richey
Paulette is a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family! God Bless!
Heart felt condolences to the family. Our community will miss her welcoming smile, supportive creativity, and authentic nature.
dear Shahn,Susan and Laura, I taught with your mom many years at South Green and we always had a good time even if it wasn’t a good time. Paulette loved to tell jokes,listen to jokes and we even cut up a little at faculty meetings. Your mom was so talented as I am sure you know,but she would tear off a long piece of white paper and free handed cut out something beautiful. She had a vision for life and has fought a long time. She talked about all of you often and I know you will miss her as well as the ones who knew her. She also loved her dogs. They kept her warm. Words can never replace her ,but the things she leaves behind will be here forever. love, Mrs. High
Mrs.Paulette Pwill was my 1st grade teacher at Liberty Street school, ten later on several years later went to same Church as her at Coral Hill Baptist. She is a wonderful lady and was always caring. She will be missed. I still remember the way she looked when I was in the 1st grade, she had the big Charlie Angel’s hair style.
