Vera Pauline Paulson, most recently of Atco, New Jersey, died on July 3, 2017.
Ms. Paulson was an avid bird watcher, a collector of kaleidoscopes, and a voracious reader. She was also an excellent cook, and many friends and family members have her needlework displayed on their walls. Her true passion, though, was the deep and abiding friendships she nurtured over afternoon coffee. Every afternoon at 3:30, in Bridgehampton and in Laurel, her friends always knew that the door would be open, the coffee fresh and hot, and the conversation lively.
Ms. Paulson met her husband in New York City, and they were married on February 20, 1954, in Bayside. They raised their family in Bridgehampton, from 1963 to 1993, spent some time traveling throughout the United States, and thereafter retired to Laurel, Delaware.
She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Paul Henry Paulson, also of Atco; three sons, Gordon Victor of New York City, Peter Edward and wife Melanie of Nashville, and Paul Henry Jr. and wife Kristi of New Jersey; and three grandchildren Amelia Ruth and Elliot Andrew of New Jersey, and Kirsten Erika of New York City.
Funeral arrangements will be private.
