Paulette Bolen

Obituary
Paulette Bolen, 67, of Old Fort, TN, passed on June 27, 2014, at Erlanger Hospital of Chattanooga, TN following eight and a half years of faithfully and courageously battling cancer.
Paulette was born on February 1, 1947. She was a devoted wife to Larry “Fat Cat” Bolen for the past 37 years. She was a talented homemaker, constant help, and the love of his life. Alongside Larry, Paulette’s contributions to the family farm and business were of great value, as was everything she did.
Paulette was welcomed into Heaven by her late parents, Sam and Della Young along with her eldest sister Edna Crittenden, brother-in-law Fred Crittenden, an older sister Mildred Ballew, brother-in-law Kenneth Adams, father-in-law Sanford “Digger” Bolen, brother-in-law Bobby Bolen, brother-in-law Jim Bolen, and a host of family and friends preceding her.
Paulette was the youngest of five children and leaves behind a sister Billie Jean Adams, a brother Donnie Young, sister-in-law Carolyne Young, sister-in-law Ann Bolen, along with several nieces and nephews, and many very special friends whom she loved as family to cherish her memory.
Paulette was a tremendous blessing to so many. She lovingly filled many positions within her family and among friends. She was a great encourager as she beautifully portrayed a passionate pursuit for life. She was widely known for her generous heart, an exceptional work ethic, her contagious smile, a profound love for family and friends, and a life well lived.
Her life was Christ’s. Paulette is now Heaven’s gain.
