Paula Kay Weathersby

1940-2019

Paula Kay Weathersby received her angel wings on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019. She was born in Belen on Aug. 16, 1940.

Paula married her high school sweetheart after graduating from Belen High in 1958. She was a beautician and bank teller for Ranchers State Bank prior to working for Valencia County. Paula also worked for the First Baptist Church of Belen for several years before returning to Valencia County until her retirement in 2006.

Paula was a wife, mother, aunt and grandmother, but was best known as “Nana.” She never missed an opportunity to talk to her grandchildren and was determined to go to as many basketball games as possible.

Paula leaves us with many memories of the silly little things she’d say, her sparkling blue eyes and mischievous smile. Paula will be deeply missed.

She was preceded in death by her son, Richard Weathersby; parents, VT and Nell Barker; sister and brother-in-law, Patsy and Woody Hunter; brother, Gene Ray Barker; and father-in-law, CR and Udell Weathersby.

Paula is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Mickey Weathersby; daughter, Lisa Mattox; grandchildren, Joshua Mattox, Hannah (Alex) Salazar and Jacob Mattox; and many others who loved and cherished her dearly.

A graveside service will be held at Terrace Grove Cemetery, on Saturday, Oct. 5, beginning at 4 p.m. A reception will follow at First Baptist Church of Belen.

Arrangements are being handled by the caring professionals at the Noblin Funeral Service Belen Chapel, 418 W. Reinken Ave., 864-4448, where an online guest register is available at noblin.com.
