The family will hold a private service later with Msgr. Mark Deering officiating. Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery by OakCrest Funeral Home.

Paula was born September 25, 1947 in Long Beach, California, to James and Ginger McCloud. For 21 years, she was a flight attendant for Braniff Airlines.

She was a loving and devoted mother, wife and friend. She was a member of St. Louis Catholic Church in Waco, and an avid tennis player and runner who ran marathons. She was preceded in death by her father, James McCloud.

She is survived by her son, Scott Holub of Fort Worth, and his father, Ron Holub and wife Joyce of Waco; mother, Ginger Allen of San Diego; brothers, Brian Allen of San Diego, and Randy and Dan McCloud, both of Michigan; sister, Karen Scott of Nashville; and aunts, Maxine Brown of Michigan and Berta Jones of Indiana.
