Paula Carroll Burroughs (Leone), 67, is now free to walk with our Lord. She passed away on Saturday, March 24, 2018 with family surrounding her, offering their love. She was born in Atlantic City, raised in Oceanville, and graduated from Holy Spirit High School. The oldest of three daughters, Paula, known as Carroll by her family, was a unique, artistic mother and friend. She was a gifted painter, piano player, guitar player and singer who shared her talents with her family, allowing for beautiful memories that will live on forever. Paula raised two daughters, Donna and Tricia, and when they were grown she worked many years a medical assistant. The true love of her life was her granddaughter, Katie Faith. Katie Faith and her “Nanny” loved to bake, make homemade ice cream, and race around the yard in the golf cart. Paula’s amazing spirit will be especially missed by her best buddy old pal, Patty Smith, and her “Papa Bear”, Henry Butterhoff. Our dear Paula was received in Heaven by her mother, Marguerite “Carroll” Leone; her father, Vincent Leone; her sister, Marian Sweeney; her uncle, Lou Diorio; and lifelong friend, Paul Smith.
