graduate of Ulysses High School, a long-time resident of Liberal with 
the love of her life, husband Dennis, an office manager in the dental 
and medical field, and a member of the Women’s Golfing Association of 
Willow Tree Golf Course.&nbsp; She loved to spend time with family, with 
people in general, and never knew a stranger.&nbsp; Paula loved being a 
Bulldog, shopping, baking, sewing, crocheting, playing board games, 
golf, and most of all traveling.&nbsp; Her favorite place was the beach or 
cruising on the ocean.&nbsp; She spent a lifetime working in the dental and 
medical field for Dr. Yount, Dr. Farmer, and the latest being Dr. 
Kaminski, where she was the office manager for the last twenty years.Paula’s three grandchildren, Kyler, 
Kahne, and Kendyl were the light of her life.&nbsp; She loved the kids’ 
sporting events, school events, and loved watching them race.&nbsp; Paula was
 the most kind, giving, unselfish, hardworking, and humble person.&nbsp; She 
could light up a room with her smile and infectious laugh.&nbsp; She battled 
so many health problems throughout her life, but you would never know 
it, because she was always smiling and happy.&nbsp; Paula would always put 
others first and never wanted praise or recognition for the things she 
did.Paula’s last nine months were spent 
living in Quinter.&nbsp; She called it her “Happy Place”.&nbsp; She was surrounded
 by so many amazing friends, doctors, nurses, therapists, and kids by 
the dozens.&nbsp; She was a grandma/Meme to so many.&nbsp; Kids would constantly 
come up and give her hugs and stop by to visit.Survivors include her husband Dennis E.
 Park of Liberal, a daughter: Kayla Johnson and husband CJ of Quinter, 
two brothers: David House and David Lewis Davis, two sisters: Dalene 
Holton and Debbie Cypret and husband Danny, three grandchildren: Kyler, 
Kahne, and Kendyl Johnson, and many other family members.She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Lawrence and Hugh, a sister, Debra, and many other family members.Paula didn’t want a service of any 
kind, especially with the Covid restrictions.&nbsp; She wanted people to stay
 safe and to remember fun and happy memories about her and her beautiful
 life that she was blessed with.&nbsp; Her message to all is “Don’t Worry Be 
Happy."&nbsp; This was the song she wanted everyone to remember her by.&nbsp; 
Instead of flowers and plants, a memorial contribution in her name has 
been set up at Quinter schools for athletic programs, clubs, and 
classes.&nbsp; This is something that she found important and knew that it 
could help kids in the Quinter community that she called her “Happy 
Place."&nbsp; Memorials can be made to the Paula Park Memorial Fund, Quinter 
Schools, P.O. Box 540, Quinter, KS&nbsp; 67752.&nbsp; Condolences and memories of
