[NFBMI-Talk] The passing of Paulette Powell: Obituary and funeral information

[Love, Pat (MDE-Contractor)]

Thanks for sharing the passing of Paulette with us.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I've known Paulette for over 30 years. She was such a wonderful, warm, kind, and thoughtful lady. I know that she is now resting in the arms of Jesus Christ! Paulette will surely be missed.

Paulette was an amazing woman. Since the day I met her, she always treated me like a son. She treated me so much like a son that I started to call her Mom, or mother. In response, she would always call me son. I can still hear her calling me "son" in my head. She was always there, and always willing and eager to help anyone who asked for it. There were times when I would want to go to Federation functions, and she herself would have Mike call me out of the blue, and basically insist that they give me a ride. She had a heart of pure gold, and while I knew her for only so little time; not nearly as long as most of the rest of you all, she meant so much to me since the time she entered into my life and will be dearly missed. I know that we all in the Michigan affiliate will continue to remember her support and presence as we stand with Mike and their family during this time. In Lieu of flowers, the family has requested to please donate to the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan in Paulette's memory at:
