SIOUX CITY | Rev. Dr. Paul Samuelson, 73, of Tulsa, Okla., formerly of Sioux City, died Friday, Feb. 17, 2017, at Leisure Village, a caring, loving extended care facility, in Tulsa.

A celebration of Paul's life will be held 2 to 4 p.m. Monday at Fitzgerald Southwood Colonial Chapel in Tulsa, Okla.

Paul was born Sept. 19, 1943, in Pueblo, Colo., to Everett and Evelyn (Howard) Samuelson. Paul and his twin were the youngest of four children. His family valued education above all and keeping in Samuelson style, Paul received a bachelor's degree in English at University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo., a Master of Divinity at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colo., and a Doctor of Ministry from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.

Paul served in Methodist churches in Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa for a period of 35 years. Paul loved liturgy and ministering to others, particularly during times of illness and death. He was a great speaker and every sermon had a flavor of humor and useful ways of reaching God. Paul had a passion for the treatment and recovery of individuals and families suffering with addiction.

Paul is survived by his wife of 22 years, Mari; and his stepson, Chris and his wife, Katie, and their children, Carson and Camden.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Paul’s name to Jackson Recovery Center in Sioux City.
