WILMINGTON — With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Paula W Carper, a beautiful soul who meant the world to her family, friends, and beloved fur-babies.
She was the kind of mom whose love filled every room she entered — warm, steady, and unconditional. Her greatest joy in life was her family, and she made sure everyone around her felt cared for, supported, and deeply loved.
She had a rare gift for making people feel at home. Whether it was through her comforting words, her laughter, or the way she always showed up when someone needed her, she left an imprint on every heart she touched. Friends became family in her presence, and family meant everything to her.
Her love extended beyond people — her fur-babies were her constant companions and a source of endless joy. She doted on them with the same tenderness she gave her children, and they were never far from her side. Her home was filled with love, warmth, and the soft sounds of paws following her from room to room.
She will be remembered for her kind heart, her strength, her sense of humor, and the way she loved without limits. Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the years of love, lessons, and memories she gave us. Her spirit lives on in the stories we tell, the love we share, and the way we care for one another — just as she taught us.
She is survived by her loving family, cherished friends, and her loyal fur-babies, all of whom will carry her memory forward with love.
