Paula Bacon

Paula Bacon, born January 9, 1953, passed away on June 2, 2026. 

Paula had a warm and caring personality. She was known for never forgetting anyone's birthday and always reaching out with a call, text, or card. Family members often received lottery tickets with their greetings, and she was genuinely eager to hear if anyone had won. She loved Hawaii, enjoyed a glass of wine, and cherished her dogs, friends, and family. One of her thoughtful and memorable ways of sharing care was making everyone’s favorite foods—especially sautéed onions, tacos, and seven-layer jello.

She dedicated over 40 years of her life to the dental field, building a steady and committed career. 

She is survived by her sisters Jan Williams, Susan Kemerly, and Mary Holmes, as well as close friends Sandy Hedges and Rick Belli, along with many nieces, nephews, and  friends.

Paula was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Kemerly, father Paul Kemerly, brother Ron Kemerly,  sister Carol Grogg, and brother in law Ron Williams.

Funeral services will be held on June 15, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Forest Lawn - Cathedral City - Ramon Chapel, located at 69855 Ramon Road, Cathedral City, CA 92234.

Paula will be remembered simply for her kindness and dedication to those she cared about.
