Paula Jean Threet, 86, of Eupora, Mississippi, passed away on November 9, 2025. She was the daughter of the late J.B. Simpson, Sr. and Daisy Mae Blackwood Lollar.
Paula dedicated seventeen years of service to North Mississippi Medical Center–Eupora, where she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She was known for her compassion and unwavering care for her patients. Earlier in life, she was also employed with Garan and Wells Lamont.
Those who knew Paula remember her as both feisty and tenderhearted—honest always, but with a kindness and wisdom that never failed to comfort. She found great joy in her family, especially her grandchildren, and in nurturing her many plants and flowers, with a particular fondness for her beloved roses.
