A Devoted Mom and Grandma, Forever in Our Hearts
Paula Joy (Peterson) Landru’s greatest joy was her family. As a caring mother and grandmother, she poured love into every moment and taught by example how to live with kindness, faith, and resilience. Her legacy continues in the lives of her children and grandchildren.
Early in life, Paula found joy in choir singing, handmade ceramics, and writing. These creative outlets reflected her love of beauty and her ability to express herself in ways that touched those around her.
Paula was blessed with the devoted care and companionship of her former in-laws, Kathy and Lonnie Landru, who were by her side for many years.
Her faith was the foundation of her strength, carrying her through life’s challenges with grace and perseverance. Paula’s resilience and compassion touched not only her family, but also those fortunate enough to know her.
She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and family that will continue to live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and all who were blessed by her presence. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
