Obituary:
Donald Lynwood Paul, 91, died Wednesday, May 17, 2006, at his residence, 205 John Wesley Road, Cypress Glenn Retirement Community, Greenville. He resided previously at 5207 Trent Woods Drive, New Bern.
The funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. Friday by the Rev. Powell Osteen at Garber United Methodist Church, 4201 Country Club Road, New Bern. Serving as honorary pallbearers will be retired and present employees of Maola Milk and Ice Cream Company. Interment will be at New Bern Memorial Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the church following the Interment.
Donald Paul was born on Sept. 13, 1914, in Wendell to the late Oel Donald Paul and Irma May Paul where his father was engaged in the furniture business. When the family furniture store burned in 1915, the family relocated to Craven County. Donald attended the Craven County Schools graduating in 1931 from New Bern High School. At the age of 13, Donald drove the first school bus that was introduced to the Craven County Schools.
When Mr. Harvey L. Barnes, President and Owner of Maola, hired Donald, the company had five employees and two trucks. Through the years Donald has served the company in a variety of capacities, working side by side with Mr. Barnes on ice cream trucks, in the plant or wherever needed by the small company which grew to be the largest processing plant in eastern North Carolina.
Donald, who had no formal training in architectural design, drew the plans and supervised the building of Maola's modern processing plant and general office building which opened to the public in 1954. Mr. Barnes was conservative in his business philosophy and did not want to expand the operations. While he and Mrs. Barnes were on a month-long vacation, they returned to find that Donald had opened a branch in Morehead City. Although Mr. Barnes was in a state of shock, he was proud of Donald. And thus began the expansion to other eastern North Carolina locations.
The late John R. Taylor, a New Bern businessman, made the remark, "If not for Donald Paul there would not be a Maola today." At the time of his retirement in 1985, he was executive vice-president of Maola Milk and Ice Cream Company which then had grown to 450 employees. He was also President of Regional Properties, Inc. and House of Treats Dairy Bars and a director of Zip Mark, Inc. Donald also contributed to the milk industry and his community. He was a distributor member of the NC Milk Commission serving under four governors from 1957 to 1971. He was a director of the NC Dairy Products Association. He also served on the Board of the NC Dairy Foundation and the Southern Association of Dairy Food Manufactures.
His professional involvement also extended to the Milk Industry Foundation and the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers. He was awarded in 1987 the coveted Distinguished Service Award from the NC Dairy Products Association in recognition for more than 50 years of service with the dairy industry in North Carolina.
He was a member and past vice president of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce, Craven County Industrial Commission Committee of 100, a director of the New Bern Board of Nations Bank, now Bank of America, and a director of the United Fund in Craven County. He was a member of the Neuse River Foundation, Inc.; Doric Lodge No. 568, New Bern Elk's Lodge No. 764, Sudan Shrine Temple, New Bern Historical Society; former member of the Eastern Carolina Yacht Club and the New Bern Golf and Country Club. He was a member of Garber United Methodist Church.
Always gifted in the arts, Donald pursued wildlife carving after retiring from Maola. He was a self-taught artist and possessed a love of nature which allowed him to develop his own style of wildlife carving. He had attended carving seminars in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland and had exhibited at the Craven Arts Council and Gallery and the New Bern-Craven County Public Library.
He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Julia Carroll Paul; sister, Joselyn May Paul Ipock; two nieces, June Ipock Bassett of Cove City and Jennifer Ipock Nance of Wilmington; great-nieces and great-nephews, Trina Bassett Raley of Leonardtown, Md., Rebecca Adele Bassett of Raleigh, Audrey Nance Manning of Norfolk, Jordan Paul Nance of Winston-Salem, James Alexander Nance of Wilmington; great-great-twin nephews, Andrew and Philip Raley of Leonardtown, Md.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Garber United Methodist Church 4201 Country Club Road, New Bern, NC 28562; Sudan Temple Cripple Children's Fund, PO Box 490, New Bern, NC 28560; Aseracare Hospice, PO Box 1645, Greenville, NC 27835; or charity of one's choice.
Visitation will be at Cotten Funeral Home tonight from 6:30-8. Arrangements by Cotten Funeral Home and Crematory.
