Paula will always hold a special place in my heart. She had a calm demeanor with an inner toughness. Together they made her a very classy, wise and caring person. We bonded over our love of the beautiful island and people of Jamaica. She was a stellar nurse, loving wife, mother and grandmother. I am so appreciative that she was a very dear fr...more

I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. She truly was a wonderful women. She never met a stranger, and always welcomed me in her home. She tolerated Tracy and I laying on her couch after pigging out and sleeping in between double sessions for field hockey. She hosted carb load parties for our hockey games (how did we not weigh a billion pounds!) she...more

So very sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of you.

Paula and I went to high school together. She was my friend. We reconnected many years later online. Paula raised a loving family and was as sweet and kind as I remembered her. I will always cherish our teenage years together. My deepest condolences to her family.

It’s been so many years, but I still hold the Polite family dear. I’m sending you all so much love, with an extra hug for my dear friend Nikki.

Dear Bonus Family, Your Mom/Wife/Momma P was an amazing woman. it took me a while to really come to terms with this, but I am finding peace in the fact that I had the opportunity to know her over these years and the warm memories that will always come with that. I am thankful she befriended my Mom and My family and definitely directly or indirect...more

Many prayers and love to my amazing cousins during this tough time. I am still so devastated by this news. My prayers and love are with you all. Candi and Jackie Waller

I am truly heartbroken by the loss of an amazing woman. Mrs. Polite took me in as a son. I will always love you for the care you gave. Love and strength to my family.

When I was at UMCP with Tracy, you made me feel like I was one of your daughters. Being so far away from home, and my mother in Los Angeles, you filled that void so beautifully and lovingly. When you picked Tracy up for breaks, you picked me up and took me home right along with her. When you sent food to the dorms, you made sure you sent enough for...more

To an amazing women who always welcomed me into the Polite home with her heart warming smile; to an amazing women who infused love into her home and through her wonderful daughters and husband: you are terribly missed but infinitely loved. Your love and warmth will carry on through your family... your legacy. Love and miss you so much. Sending s...more

To the Polite Family, There are no words to say when we lose a lovely person like Paula. I am very happy i got to see her last October. I told a friend of mine how lovely this family is and Thomas is the very best cousin in the whole family,and how nice it was to have Paula as a cousin,and giving me my little movie star cousin Chaka Niki Khan. So...more

To a beautiful angel, may you rest in the arms of the Lord. I will always love you, Mama Paula.

I’ve had the honor of knowing Paula since Marci and I were running around in high school together. When I think of Paula, I remember her warmth, bright spirit, family devotion, and patience. I remember her as the matriarch to the large Polite family. It deeply saddens me that Paula has left this life far too soon, but I feel comforted in knowing th...more

I remember all the summers I spent in cherry hill. You treated me with so much love and kindness as if I were your own. Always so warm with a beautiful smile. Thank you for being my aunt. For caring and loving me. You will always be in my heart.

I will always remember my “back up” mom through college and beyond. It usually involved feeding us and providing a fun family house to stay when we needed to “get away” from college. Mrs.Polite always had a way to give her advice in her calm, sweet manor that made it so much easier to hear. Thank you Polite family for sharing her with us, she wil...more

If I think of words to describe Mrs. Polite it is patient and kind. I remember going over the Polite’s apartment in Bloomfield to play and we would run in and out of the apartment like a herd of buffalo, but Mrs. Polite NEVER raised her voice and I think 1/2 the time she was trying to sleep because she worked long hours as a nurse. But if her girls...more

I’m remember your mom, Paula, as the kindest of hearts. She always had a warmness to her. Her smile was comforting. She listened and imparted wisdom during my visits to the home she made for you Renee ave your sisters. I have no doubt she will be advocating and moving spiritual forces to uplift and protect you and yours and remember she’s just a wo...more

Every time I saw Paula, she left in me an impression of a cool, collected, confident woman, bred from the highest echelon of society who couldn't be bothered with pretense. Though I did not know her in her heart of hearts, it is plain to see it was filled with love that nourished all around her. Beautiful island girl that didn't swim... I will alw...more

My sincerest condolences to the entire Polite family. I hope my little memory will make you all smile. After graduating from college, my daughter Monica had her own apartment.The water was extremely soft. For some reason we were all having a conversation about how sudsy and messy the sink of dishes could be in this water. Then came the “face slap”...more

Paula was a beautiful soul. I felt this way about her not only from the first time we met, but also by witnessing how her large family wanted to spend as much time as possible with her always. Not all families although loving are this way. Her love spread vastly over her family and friends. She will remain right here guiding and watching over he...more
