Paula was a longtime member of Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church where she was a member of the Choir. She loved to play cards, Bingo and shop before her health declined. Paula had a contagious laugh and a beautiful singing voice. She would give you a certain look and her stern words “yes, she meant what she said.” Paula had nicknames for some of her family members: “Shea Butta”, “Blondie”, “Bones”, “Chicken Wing” and “Ling Ling”. Those were only a few. She would often ask “do you have any chicken and macaroni?” Those were some of her favorite foods. Ms. Paula Elizabeth Jackson leaves to cherish her memories: brother, Rev.
