Paulette was a 1965 graduate of Bellmar High School, a 1968 graduate of Presbyterian University Hospital School of Nursing, and a 1991 graduate of California University of Pennsylvania with a BS in Nursing. She was employed for 42 years as an RN in the CCU at UPMC Presbyterian. Paulette was a member of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church in Carmichaels, and enjoyed singing in the choir. She was also a former member of the Penn Sembles Adult Tamburitza Orchestra, the Croatian Fraternal Union, the Serb National Federation, and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. The highlight of her life was four trips to the former Yugoslavia to visit the birthplace of her parents and meet extended family members.
