Paula Nicely, was born June 23, 1944, in Columbia, South Carolina, to the late Paul A. Baker and Cordia Johnson Bruner.
Paula was a 1962 graduate of Owensboro High School and graduated from Kentucky Wesleyan College. She taught in the Owensboro Public School System for 38 years, where she taught at Lee and Estes Elementary Schools. Teaching was her lifelong dream and calling.
After retirement, Paula led a group of Christian ladies, "The Ladies of Faith" in bible study in her home. Due to Sister Jo's (which she was fondly called) health, the group retired in 2019 after 10 years of blessings. She continued her bible literacy teaching up to the time of her "homegoing". She had a heartfelt love for all her church friends. She attended several local churches and groups and loved them all. She taught Sunday School at the House of Prayer, Owensboro, KY. Her last prayer for her family, friends, and fellow believers is to stay in love with our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ and she hopes to see us later!
Along with her parents, Paula was preceded in death by her stepfather, Jay Bruner.
Burial at Pleasant Grove Cemetery
