On the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021, Paula Marie Young of Hines passed away at the age of 59 after suffering a pulmonary embolism.

Paula was born in Oregon. After living in Wyoming and Iowa, she returned to Oregon in 2006 with her partner, Paul, settling in Burns.

Paula is survived by her three sisters, Debbie, Amy and Donna, who have families throughout the state of Oregon.

Paula will be more remembered for her ways of giving, helping others, her special love for children, her excitement over ordering Christmas gifts out of catalogs for every person she knew and, of course, her collection of frogs!

No memorial service is planned but donations can be made in Paula’s name to St. Jude Children’s Research Center.
