Paula had an extensive and eclectic CD collection, with artists ranging from George Strait, Adele, KISS, Elton John, and others. We fondly remember her air guitar, drum, and fiddle sessions whenever she got really into a song. Paula instilled her love of classic country, fishing, and rodeo into her nephews. She volunteered for 10 years at the Norman Round-Up Club to make sure that young people could enjoy the sport. Her style was simple. She hasn't worn a dress since 1979. Her mother begged her to wear a dress and shoes to her high school graduation. In exchange, she was gifted new rims for her Camaro. Paula was the type of woman to give you her last dollar if you needed it. She often opened her home to any stray animal or human. Paula was selfless even in her passing. She was adamant that she wanted to donate her organs and was able to make a difference in the lives of nine others. However, she also had a fiery side. If she got angry enough it was not unheard of for her to throw a phone, calculator, tablet, rearview mirror, or even a printer. Paula enjoyed woodworking and used her talents to create meaningful artwork for others. She also loved spending time with family fishing at the lake.
Paula is preceded in death by her granny, Ruby Thomas. Her mother and father Bill and Faye Jones and her brother Mike Thomas.
A graveside service will be held at McGee Cemetery in Stratford, Oklahoma. Flowers can be sent to Pickard Funeral Home, 301 W Smith St, Stratford, OK 74872.
