Heaven gained another angel with the passing of Paula Groom Eash of Gloucester on July 8, 2017.

She is survived by her loving fiancé, Patrick Millen, and his family who all welcomed her with open arms. She is also survived by brothers, Glenn Paulette (Heather) of Verona, Max Paulette (Beth) of Walkerton, and Buck Deal (Joanie) of Gloucester; sisters, Kitty Ring (Sean) of Sedalia, Missouri, and Sharon Shoener (Johnny) of Gloucester, as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who all loved her dearly.

Paula was preceded in death by mother, Catherine Deal Groom Paulette; father, Henley Groom; her poppa, Robert L. Paulette, and brother, Harry Deal.

Paula always had a ready smile and reached out to help someone in need. She loved all of God’s creatures, especially her beloved ferrets, and never met a stranger. She will be greatly missed.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 13 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Andrews Funeral Home. Burial will be on Friday, July 14 at 11 a.m. at Oak Grove Cemetery in Naxera.

Should friends wish, donations to the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.
