Paula enjoyed her family and being a mother. She loved dressing her children in Halloween costumes as well as hosting many family gatherings and celebrations in Itasca. She enjoyed maintaining her yard and garden, flower arranging, sewing many cherished family items including the Doyle family Christening gown, After her husband Patrick died, she dabbled with stain glass works and print design and travelling to Europe on many occasions. She enjoyed reading and when that became challenging, she relished books on tape as well as listening to WGN and WBBM radio stations.

Due to COVID-19, there will be a Celebration of Life at a future date. There will be a private gravesite ceremony and burial at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside.

Memorial contributions can be made in her name to Caledonia Senior Living and Memory Care.
