Paula Worton

DAVIS, Paula Mary (nee Worton)

British War Bride

Peacefully and surrounded by family, after a short illness, at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital on Monday, October 31, 2016. Paula was in her 93rd year and was born in Arnold, Nottingham, England to the late Elsie and Joseph Worton. Much beloved wife of the late John Bruce Davis (2005). Cherished mother of Paddy Williams-MacKinnon (John), Diana, and Carolyn Heymans (Philip). Adored Nana to her grandchildren, Aunie, Neil, Kathleen and Marisa. Dearly missed by her brother-in-law Brian Perkins (Sheffield, England) and her sister-in-law Joy Worton (Kingston, Jamaica) and many nephews and nieces in Canada, England, Jamaica and Australia. Predeceased by her much-loved siblings, Patricia (England) and Harry (Jamaica). Paula was an inspiration and a spark of love and joy to all who knew her as she dealt with many health issues with stoic patience, humour, dignity and song. Paula always had a smile and friendly greeting for everyone she met. A very special thank you to Paula's angel, Nathalie, who was by Paula's side through-out her journey. There are no words to express our gratitude and appreciation. You were Paula's miracle. Thank you as well to the staff and residents of ALC2 in Stillwater Creek for their outstanding care and support, particularly nurses Debbie and Sharan.
