She is preceded in death by her parents, Idress and Paul Almon; her brothers, Hayden and Russell Almon; her husband, Ivan Kandra; and her son, James Rohrbacker.

Paula was a shining star - a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. We will always be grateful for the role she played in our lives and especially our children's lives. She was greatly loved and will always be remembered. The Lord will consider Paula's life a life well lived.
