Paula Perry

Paula Louise Perry, 64, of Somerset, Kentucky, passed away on April 5, 2026.

Born on October 16, 1961, in Barberton, Ohio, Paula lived a life centered around love, family, and compassion. She was a talented beautician in Ohio before moving to Kentucky, where she later worked for Palm Beach until her health no longer allowed. Paula also devoted herself to caring for her mother, Eleanor Mace, and found her greatest joy in being a full-time grandmother to her beloved grandchildren.

Paula was known for her nonjudgmental, forever-loving, and free-spirited heart. She had a way of making everyone feel accepted, valued, and at home in her presence. Her kindness and warmth touched countless lives, and her memory will live on in all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Eleanor Mace; her uncle Ray; her great-aunt Naoma; and her sister-in-law, Marsha Mace.

Paula is survived by her loving children: her son, Theodore Mace, his wife Darrien Hughes, and grandson Tyson Mace; her daughter, Brandie Wright, her husband Matt Wright, and their children Camryn Wright and Callen Wright; and her daughter, Mariah Perry, and grandson Kion Woolridge. She is also survived by her siblings: her brother Steven Mace; her brother Martin Mace and his wife Jenny Mace; and her sister Ellen Lessem and her husband Brad Lessem.

She also leaves behind her cherished adopted daughters: Hilary Dick and her sons Camden Cowan and Kai Strode; and Mikayla Coffey, her husband Coleman Coffey, and their children Zayden Coffey and Kaylen Coffey.

Paula is further survived by her best friend, Barbra Heaney, and her husband Bill Heaney, who shared a special bond with her that will never be forgotten.

A funeral service will be held at Pulaski Funeral Home. Family will gather at 11:00 AM, with public visitation beginning at 12:00 PM, and the funeral service at 2:00 PM. There will be an open floor during the service for anyone who wishes to share thoughts, memories, or stories in honor of Paula's life.

Paula Louise Perry will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely and the light she brought into the lives of others.
