Paula F. Fowler

Born in Saranac Lake on Nov. 17, 1953, she was the daughter of Francis and Helen (Callaghan) Martin.

Paula graduated from Pius X and attended nursing school at St. Lawrence School of Nursing.

Paula worked as a nurse in Syracuse, Colby, Kansas and Richmond, Virginia before returning to her hometown to work at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake until her retirement.

She is survived by one sister, Adlayd Collins of Lake Placid, and two brothers, Dean and his wife Pam of Saranac Lake and Joseph Martin of Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews including Max Martin, Nicole Lee, Terri Bullock and Rebecca Tejera. She was preceded in death by her father and mother.

Paula loved spending holidays with family. She was a wonderful baker and made many special cakes for family and friends. One of her special interests was collecting anything antique-y.
