She also became a real estate agent in Chicago and continued that as a side job after retirement in retirement in Lake Havasu. They moved to Hemet, CA, in 1990 in order to be closer to relatives. After 54 years of marriage, Cliff passed away and in 2002 Paula returned to Lake Havasu where they had kept their first retirement home. She will be remembered by many for the love she had for her little dogs and for reading the email jokes at the Senior Center exercise class. She was a member of St Michael's Methodist Church.
