Paula Susan St. John

Paula Susan St. John, 70, of Stow, passed away on March 7, 2026 at Hudson Grande Senior Living. Born in Cleveland on October 31, 1955 to Paul and Evelyn Gray, Paula lived a life deeply rooted in faith, family, and quiet acts of love.

Her Christian faith served as the foundation of her life, shaping her with kindness, generosity, and a joyful spirit. She loved Jesus deeply and found purpose in serving others, particularly through her church community. Paula had a true gift for hospitality, whether hosting guests, preparing meals, offering encouragement, or simply lending a helping hand. She made those around her feel seen and loved. She found joy in dance, singing, musicals, and baseball, yet nothing brought her greater happiness than time spent with her family and watching her grandchildren grow.

Paula is survived by her loving husband, Robert; her daughter, Bonnie (Dirk) Hayhurst; her son, Peter (Tiffany) St. John; her three beloved grandchildren, Audrey, Henry, and Owen; and her sisters, Gigi (Mark) Chadwick and Linda (Bill) Kelley.
