When it becameclear in the spring of this year that it would, she marshaledher strength and invited family and friends to an open houseat her home in Loveland to say goodbye. The day was beautifulin every way. Some members of the Class of '65 who had beensomewhat apprehensive about going agreed afterwards thatperhaps this was the way more funerals should be!Ten days later, she peacefully died surrounded by her family.Paula’s relatives who attended Ursuline are legion, and this isour best effort to reconstruct the many relations.PAULA GRAHAM POSIVAL '65PAULA’S MOTHER:VIRGINIA FARWICK GRAHAM '41PAULA’S SISTERS:Pam Graham Anderson '63Ginger Graham Brezinski '67Jan Graham '68Jill Graham Godfroy '68Gaea Graham Morris '70Sara Graham '74PAULA’S BROTHER:Rick Graham (grade school)PAULA’S UNCLE:Dan Farwick (grade school)PAULA’S NIECES:Liz Godfroy '94Emily Godfroy Lofald '95Katie Weber McGaughy '01Classmates from '65 gathered to celebrate Paula Graham Posival's (seated,center) life shortly before she died: From left – Mimi Wais Rosselot, MarthaBroerman Brosz, Nancy Haun Roos, Robin Anzinger Galvin, Pam Sweeney Schneider,Pat Corcoran.
