A 1967 graduate of Neshannock High School, she was the owner of Paula's Beauty Salon on Fairmont Avenue in New Castle for more than 40 years. She was a devoted Catholic and lifelong parishioner at Holy Spirit Parish, St. Camillus site where she was very involved. She baked with the Lady's Guild at church and volunteered at the St. Vitus Bazaar with friends she called the "Puffettes." She also taught pie baking classes especially her famous cherry pie and raised scholarship money for young women through the American Business Women's Association (ABWA).
Paula was blessed with a large amount of loving family and friends. The world has truly lost a beloved mother, friend, and mentor. Everyone knew her as a kind soul, always willing to cheer others with hugs and kisses. Like dandelion seeds in breezes, her memory now floats freely where it pleases. Anyone who knew Paula, knew that she was the most loving human being, friend, sibling and mother a family could ever ask for. She shared this same love with her community of friends, professionals, and acquaintances spanning across the country. She truly lived a beautifully diverse and accomplished life and we should all be happy to have known her.
Paula was a fun-loving person and a dear part of so many people's lives and was very generous with her time and spirit. She loved to travel, laugh, cook, and dine with her friends and family. Paula's most cherished time was when she spent time with her son, David, his wife, Ninoska, and her two grandchildren David and Sofia. She loved being a grandmother and was very proud of David and Sofia.
Paula will be reunited in heaven with her cherished baby daughter, Susan Slater; beloved brother, Paul Larry Marcella; and her parents, Mildred Marcella-Percic and Paul Marcella.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by son, David Slater of Parkland, Florida; daughter-in-law, Ninoska Slater, Parkland, Florida; grandchildren, David and Sofia Slater of Parkland, Florida; sister, Maxine Marcella of The Villages, Florida; and many nieces, nephews and godchildren.
A private Blessing Service will be held next week with Deacon John Carran of Holy Spirit Parish officiating. Arrangements were entrusted to the Noga Funeral Home Inc. 1142 S. Mill St., New Castle. Interment will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.
Eternal rest grant unto Paula, O Lord. Let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
