Paula Ann (Binnebose) Johnson, 53, of Belmond, went home to heaven on Sunday, March 8, 2009. Memorial services will be held on Saturday, May 1, 2010, at 10:30 a.m., at the St. Olaf Lutheran Church, rural Belmond, with Reverend James Harbaugh and Reverend James Gochenouer officiating. Inurnment will take place in the St. Olaf Lutheran Cemetery at a later date. Visitation will be held on Friday, April 30, from 5-7:00 p.m., at the St. Olaf Lutheran Church and one hour prior to the services at the church.

Paula was born on February 10, 1956, to Neil and Betty (Jorgenson) Binnebose in Marshall, Minnesota. The family moved to Mason City where Paula graduated from high school in 1973. After graduation, Paula met and fell in love with Dallas Johnson. Dallas and Paula were married at the St. James Lutheran Church in Mason City, on October 15, 1977. Afterwards, the couple resided on the family farm outside of Belmond for many years.

Their unending love produced three children, Elizabeth, Kyle and Seth. As a testament to her strength, Paula accomplished her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse while raising her three children. Paula was a dedicated and compassionate nurse at the Belmond Health Care Center. She placed her patients first and was always willing to help others.

Paula enjoyed spending time with her family the most. She was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling, cooking, baking, making crafts and most of all talking to others. Her camera was never far away, as she loved capturing memories over the years. Paula always had a cheerful personality and could be counted on to provide support to anyone who needed it. She focused her life around helping others and her impact is evident in the countless lives she touched. Paula's legacy of selflessness and caring for others leaves many people with a lifetime full of memories. Left to cherish her life is her grateful family and community.

Paula's family includes her devoted husband, Dallas; loving children, Elizabeth, Kyle (Lisa) and Seth; father, Neil; sister, Karen (Ron) Bull; brothers, Craig (Janelle) and Mark; and other countless family members, friends and coworkers. She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty Binnebose; and her father and mother-in-law, Harris and Minnie Johnson.
