Paula Joyce Warren was born May 8, 1965 to James Lewis "Jimmy" Cary and Evelyn Ruth (Washburn) Cary. Paula passed away surrounded by family on March 2, 2019 at Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas, due to medical complications.
Paula's devotion to her family and the Lord was unrivaled in many eyes. She spent a lot of her time visiting with her family as much as she could. She enjoyed doing puzzles, reading, loving on her dog, and being surrounded by those that she loved. Throughout her life, Paula faced many medical issues, but she rarely let it impact her spirit. When in the company of her family, she spent time telling stories from the past and laughing; a laugh that was very infectious. Her stories were always told in great detail and she would find humor in the smallest of things, leading her nieces and nephews to give her the nickname, "Crazy Aunt Paula." Her light on this Earth shined bright and she was always the one you looked for when attending family functions. Unable to have kids herself, she took on ALL fourteen nieces and nephews, and many great nieces and nephews, as her own. Though she is no longer here with us, she will live on through her siblings and the younger generations as we continue to tell the stories of "Crazy Aunt Paula."
Paula was preceded in death by her father Jimmy Cary of Longview, TX.
Paula is survived by her mother, Evelyn Cary, of Longview; her sisters, Angela Ethridge and partner, Darren, of Bryan; Nancy Wallace and husband, Bubba, of Union Grove; her brother, James Cary and wife, Shellie, of Hallsville; the joys of her life, her nephews, Mike Smith and wife, Sarah, of Longview; Chris Cary and wife, Holly, of Hallsville; Blake Smith and husband, Kevin, of Longview; Zack Gonzalez and wife, Rosaleigh, of Carthage; Mark Cary of Longview; Brannon Cary and wife, Joanna, of Gilmer; Cody Cary of Hallsville; Dylan Sells of Leander; Corey Cary and wife, Megan, of Gilmer; Jonathan Gonzalez and wife, Katherine, of Leesville, LA; Lance Boland of Union Grove; and Jacob Oney of Hallsville; and her nieces Katie Czajkowski and husband, Zach, of Karnack; and Brittney Cary of Longview; as well as many great nieces and nephews, and host of friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something for someone else and "pay it forward", as that's the spirit that Paula embodied.
