Paula Washee Obituary

Paula Glover Washee

After a gallant 1 1/2 year battle with cancer, Paula Glover Washee passed away fighting all the way at her home in Lecompton, KS. She was born December 8, 1956 in Salt Lake City, UT. She grew up in Wichita, KS and spent the last 30 years in Lecompton.

Paula was one of six children born to the late Paul and Betty Glover. Paula will be forever remembered by her son Patrick Dondlinger, sister Cindy Lane (Lew), brothers Greg (Bobbi), Scot (Susan), Jerry (Angie), her late brother Gary Glover, grandchildren Ashley, Alexis, and Coleman Dondlinger, along with countless friends and family whom were blessed to know her.

Paula loved all things crafty, spending time in her garden, laughing, being with her family, and having fun with her friends. Her favorite response was "I love you more." She always worked to help others at KU Food Service, Dillons, and Brandon Woods.

Paula touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity and maintained her trademark sense of humor all the way to the end. Friends and family are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Wednesday, April 9th, 2014 at 11am at Lecompton United Methodist Church, 402 Elmore St, Lecompton, KS 66050.

To the Glover Family, I am very, very sorry for your loss. Paula was like a ray of sunshine. Although I did not get to know her as well as I would have liked to, my fondest memories are her warm smile and that unique laugh. May your wonderful memories of her bring you comfort.

Paula always made me feel at home and part of her family. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and a big hug for me. She was always supportive and never looked down on others. My heart goes out to Patrick Donlinger and his beautiful kids, my step-father Greg Glover and all of the Glover family.
Sincerely,
Nichole Lamb

I remember Paula for all the laughs she brought to us. You never knew what she would say next. I worked with Paula at the Kansas Union along with other of her close friends. She was always there for you when you needed her the most. She had a good look on life with her family and friends beside her. Our thoughts are with you during this time of grieving. Please know that you are not alone in remembering a truly wonderful person that meant so much to so many of us. Our thought and prayers are with Patrick and her family. She will be missed.
