IN LOVING MEMORY

Paula Sue Neff

Jul 18 1950 - Jan 17 2023

Paula Sue Neff of Corsicana, Texas passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 17, 2023. She was born July 18, 1950 to Paul and Helen Johnson. Paula grew up spending her time on the lake where she loved fishing with her parents. Some of her best memories are told of her on the lake with her daddy. She loved her Texas roots and enjoyed sports by cheering for the Cowboys and Rangers.

Paula was a kind and loving person. She was a member of Mildred Baptist church where she regularly attended and enjoyed bible study and fellowship with the women’s group. As Paula grew in her faith and focused her attention on improving her relationship with God, those around her felt her commitment in the actions within her daily life.

Paula had a gift for cooking. Whether that was when she owned her own restaurant, her catering business, sharing family recipes or tinkering in her own kitchen, feeding others made her happy. She most recently carried that through her passion project, Hope to Go Food Pantry. Paula heard of this project her local church was starting and quickly became instrumental in its development, becoming the Director and driving force behind a vision to serve others. Her ability to organize and grow this dream of feeding families in need brought her great joy and happiness, demonstrating her Christ-like character through true dedication and giving of her time, energy, and self.

Paula was preceded in death by her brother, Richard Ray Johnson, her mother, Helen Sue Johnson, and her father, Paul Everett Johnson. She is survived by her husband, Rick Neff as well as 2 sons, Shawn and Drue, 2 stepchildren, Joey, and Katelyn, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
