Pamela Mayer Paulin of Trafalgar, IN was born in Hamilton, Ohio on March 12, 1949.  She grew up in Oxford, Ohio where she attended Talawanda High School and Western College for Women.  She moved to Greenwood, IN in 1978.

Pamela "Pam" Paulin died peacefully on November 15, 2025 in Trafalgar, IN after a courageous and grace-filled battle with breast cancer.  She faced her illness with unwavering strength, humor, and hope-an inspiration to everyone who loved her.  She was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and a good friend to many.

She had a passion for teaching, encouraging others and sharing knowledge.  She was known for her lively accepting influence and her way of getting others to laugh and believe in themselves.  She loved flowers and gardening, beading and jewelry making, sewing and crocheting, and most of all, her family.

Pam was employed by Center Grove Community Schools, serving in many roles including teaching and managing the computer lab.  Later she became a flight attendant instructor.

Pam was preceded in death by her parents John C. and Dorothy (Johnson) Mayer of Oxford, OH and grandson, Ethan Paulin of Greenwood, IN.

She is survived by her two younger sisters Marcia Cochenour (John Cochenour) of Bonita Beach, Florida, and Sally Mayer Swift of Oxford, OH and her two sons Chad (Mindy) Paulin Trafalgar, IN and Kevin (Casey) Paulin, Greenwood, IN and grandchildren Cameron Paulin and Chloe Paulin and Cohen (Mary) Carter and Isaac Carter.

Instead of sending flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Karen Wellington Foundation at https://karenwellingtonfoundation.org The foundation provides priceless vacations for breast cancer patients and their families.  Pam, her children and grandchildren are forever grateful to have been a past recipient of a wonderful memory packed family retreat.  Swartz Family Community Mortuary and Memorial Center in Franklin, IN is handling the arrangements.
