Paula Beth Mamayek

Paula Beth Mamayek passed away Thursday, October 22, 2015 at the Hospice House in Adrian, Michigan after a brief battle with cancer and is now with her heavenly Father. She was born on December 6, 1949 to Paul and Irma Moeller in Adrian, Michigan. She was a baptized and confirmed member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Adrian. She was a charter member of the Tipton Jets 4-H club. Paula graduated from Tecumseh High School in 1967 and graduated from Cleary College in 1968. She held her first full-time job at Tecumseh Products. Paula was a lifelong resident of Lenawee County and was a licensed Realtor for nearly 40 years, most recently with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. She was named Lenawee County Realtor of the Year in 2002. Paula loved to match clients with their “dream homes.” It was not unusual for Paula to go above and beyond her normal duties as a realtor using knowledge, experience, and creativity to help families attain their future homes. She also had a special talent for buying houses that had deteriorated and through remarkable vision and hard work, restoring them to compliment the neighborhood, often inspiring neighbors to do the same. Paula was very artistic. She often found creative ways to personalize areas in houses, adding charm and interest. She painted a beautiful mural on the walls of a mud room in a “Promenade the Past" designer home, transforming a plain room into a “must see” feature of the house. While she seldom took vacations, she toured Europe while her son was stationed there; took a family cruise in Alaska; and visited Italy with family members. She is survived by her son, Brian Mamayek, her siblings Rebecca (Sonny) Roberts of Clinton, Janet Moeller of Tecumseh, Gary (Sharon) Moeller of Onsted and Anne (Carl) Zilke of Clayton along with many nieces and nephews and Dave Ball, a close family friend. She will truly be missed. Paula was preceded in death by her parents. The funeral service will be 11: 00 a.m. Monday, October 26, 2015 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Adrian with Rev. Joel Sarrault officiating. Burial will follow at St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery. Friends may call at Wagley Funeral Home on Sunday, October 25, from 2-5 p.m. and also on Monday at the church from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service.
