Paula was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew her. She always put everyone else first and herself last. Even up to her death. She was preceded in death by her parents, Polly Bourgoine and David Westbrook, as well as her beloved granddaughter, Laila.
She leaves behind her devoted husband, Chris Anderson, her cherished children: Amber and her son Ryland Townsley, Matt and his children Sarina and Zeke, and Andrew and his children Addy, Zander, Lola, Ella, and Violet; her sister, Nancy Westbrook; her niece, Misty Strouder; her brother, Jim Westbrook; and her nephew, J.D. Westbrook.
Paula enjoyed Saturday mornings at IHOP, followed by trips to the movies and spending time with her family. She loved going to the beach just to watch her family play in the gulf. She also loved reading books. Her gentle spirit and unwavering love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A celebration of Paula's life will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 1:00pm at Leander Church of Christ. Her family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to American Breast Cancer Foundation (www.abcf.org).
