“In loving memory of Paula Sue Nartker, who passed away on October 30, 2026, we celebrate the life of a woman whose devotion was to faith and family. Born on August 17, 1964, in Lima, Ohio, Paula was the cherished daughter of Paul and Susan Nartker (Nienberg).

Paula's unwavering faith was evident in her commitment to her spiritual journey. She pursued ordination classes at Mount Vernon Nazarene University and expanded her theological understanding at Winebrenner Theological Seminary. She finally found a church home at New Beginnings Assembly of God in Tiffin, Ohio.

Family was the cornerstone of Paula's existence, and she cherished her role as a sister, aunt, and great-aunt. She is survived by her brother, Michael Nartker, and her nieces: Courtney Price, Chelsea (Dylan) Napier, Michala (Michael) Latham, Mikenzie (Garrett) Harrison, and McKenna Nartker. Paula's heart overflowed with love for her great-nieces and nephews: Autumn Nissen, Emma Napier, Stanley Williams, Aj Lawrence, Amir Lawrence, Kyler Williams, Braxton Napier, Waylon Latham, Samson Harrison, and Amanda Harrison.

Preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Susan Nartker, her Uncle Dale Nienberg, and great-nephew, Jaidon Mangas, great-niece, Hazel Napier, as well as unborn baby Latham and unborn Harrison twins. Paula leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Paula's passion for family radiated in the thoughtful gestures she extended to her loved ones. She delighted in collecting photographs and crafting personalized calendars for each of her nieces, ensuring that special moments were preserved and celebrated. Paula was always eager to know what was happening in the lives of those she held dear.”

There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.
