9185196_fbsIt is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paula "Missy" Connelly, a beloved mother, friend of many, and devoted animal lover, who left us on January 2nd, 2025 at the age of 57. Raised in Camden County, Paula brought joy and warmth to everyone she met.

Beloved mother of Edward, Hunter, Candi and Tess, daughter of the late Catherine Menkevich and Edward Menkevich, sibling to Darlene (Steve), Jason, Jessica (Jonathan); aunt to John, Kelly, Lisa,  Evan (Erin), Madison, Avery, Tyler, Noemi, and Jonathan Jr. Grandmother and great aunt to very many other family and friends.

Paula was a free spirit who found solace and happiness in the simple pleasures of life. She had a deep love for fishing and the beach, often spending her days by the water, enjoying nature's beauty. Her zest for life was complemented by a fondness for penguins and energy drinks, which fueled her adventures and kept her on the go.

As a mother of four, Paula took immense pride in her children, constantly encouraging and supporting them in their pursuits. She was not only a guiding light in their lives but also an example of when there is a will, there is a way.

Paula's home was a sanctuary filled with laughter and the companionship of her beloved dogs, who brought her endless joy and comfort. Her heart was as vast as the ocean, always welcoming to anyone in need and for loved ones.

Paula will be deeply missed by her children, as well as her many friends and extended family. Her spirit will continue to inspire those who knew her, reminding us to embrace life and cherish every moment.

A celebration of Paula’s life will be held on Thursday, January 16th, 2025 with a visitation from 10:30 AM to 12 Noon at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 820 Haddon Ave., Collingswood, NJ, with the service to follow at 12 Noon.  Interment private.
