Paula Constable 67, passed away in Norwalk, Iowa, on June 21, after a long-term illness. Paula, along with her husband, had owned the Maid-Rite in Valley Junction which is known as Paula’s.
Paula had a special charm, wit, and style for which she will be long remembered.
Paula is survived by her son David (Theresa) Constable, daughter Denise (Bob) Beener, granddaughters Lisa and Sarah Constable, brother Mike (Leann) Norton, sisters-in-law Darleen Cummings and Bonnie Norton, and several nieces and nephews.
Paula was preceded in death by her husband of forty-six years, Loren Constable, her son, Steven Constable, her brother, Gary Norton, her parents, and her niece Melissa Norton.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Blue Ribbon Foundation at the Iowa State Fair, or Iowa Health Hospice.
Per Paula’s request a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Just as Paula lived, she died helping others. Her body has been donated to Des Moines University Donor Program. She wanted to continue helping people. Paula always said “People may not remember what you said but they will always remember how you made them feel.”
A special thanks to Norwalk Regency Assisted Living and Care Center, and to Dr. Charles Caughlan and his staff, for their care and friendship.

Denise and David (and all the family), my heart goes out to both of you during this time. Your Mom was the greatest! From all the old memories I have with her when I was younger, and to running into her at Maid Rite or Prairie Meadows. She always had so much life in her and was always a sweet and fun woman to be around. No matter what she was going through, she was always concerned and asking about others. Made me feel special every time I saw her! She was one of a kind!

To Paula's & Loren's Family, we graduated with Paula in 1963 at THS. She was such a loving gal and SO funny! Always a joy to be around. Remember seeing her at Class Reunions through the years and she never changed! We will miss her. She and Loren together were quite a pair! Our world was a better place because they were in it. Love from Terry (Foster) and Mike Klipp

I remember Paula as a wonderful woman, full of laughter and something just kept her going, she was a very strong lady. My prayers are with her family and a big hug for Denise. I hope to think she is at peace and free of pain.

We offer our innermost prayers in your behalf to the Hearer of Prayer. God knows the pain and grief that you are going through and will be near to your family to help you endure. God will equip you with power beyond what is normal (2 Corinthians 4:7) to get from one day to the next. God is yearning to end suffering and Isaiah 25:8 gives a promise and a hope we can look forward to. Oh how we look forward to seeing our loved ones again.
