Although Paula was preceded in death by her brothers, Philip Andrew Ainsworth and Jon Mark Ainsworth,

Dyke, she is survived by Gene’s widow, Gwyn of Dacula, GA, and their children, Mathew and Mathew’s son Samuel, Philip, and Rayna. Paula is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Paula served as a civil service employee for approximately 15 years at Tinker Air Force Base where she excelled in supply and inventory systems and possessed a top secret security clearance.

Paula served as a substitute in the Mid-Del school system. Paula earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and attended Midwest City High School. In 2015 Paula and her husband moved to southwest Oklahoma City to be near to their daughter after residing in Norman for 19 years, at which time they began attending Shekinah Fellowship Church.
