Paula Marie McCoy

PAULA MARIE MCCOY age 32, died Sunday, April 5, 2015. in New Orleans, LA.
""The world has lost a shining light this week; my beautiful daughter Paula Marie is travelin' on.""
Paula was born March 25, 1983, in Madison, WI. She was loved by anyone who ever crossed her path. Her whole life was about sharing--if Paula had a dollar, she'd give you 50 cents or even the whole dollar. She was a traveler, an adventurer, a free spirit til the very end. She lived every minute on her own terms. Her spirit will live on forever in the beauty around us, in any example of giving/sharing/helping; in our smiles and our laughter. She lives in our kindness toward one another, in our acceptance and inclusiveness of all. She lives when we pick a dandelion or a lilac; she lives when we share our love with a dog or a cat or any animal.
She will be remembered and loved forever by her mom and dad, Michele Ann McCoy and John Capelle (Springfield, MO), uncle and aunt Mike and Jennifer McCoy and cousins Jacob and Evan, (Pass Christian, MS); aunts Marie McCoy (Ft Lauderdale, FL) and Charlene Wilke (Evanston, IL); gramma Sue McCoy (Springfield, MO); grandpa and grandma Frank and Karen McCoy (Readstown, WI); her beloved dog and partner in crime Pancake; and countless beautiful and loving friends.
Shine on, Paula Marie. You are the brightest star in the galaxy.
