In Loving Memory of Paula Nancy Harris (Adams)

“Those we love never truly leave us. Their memory lives on in the stories we share, the lessons they taught us, and the love they gave so freely.”

Obituary

With deep sadness and loving remembrance, we announce the passing of Paula Nancy Harris - maiden name Paula Nancy Adams who passed away on April 17, 2026, at her residence in Coachella, California, following cardiopulmonary arrest.

Paula was a gentle and caring soul whose kindness touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. She had a quiet strength, a warm heart, and a natural way of making people feel welcomed, valued, and loved. Whether through a thoughtful conversation, a comforting presence, or a simple act of generosity, Paula created meaningful connections that will never be forgotten.

She treasured her family deeply and devoted herself to the people she loved with patience, compassion, and unwavering support. Friends admired her loyalty and sincerity, while neighbors and colleagues appreciated her thoughtful nature and the calm encouragement she brought into everyday life. Paula had a special gift for bringing people together and making ordinary moments feel memorable.

The loss of Paula leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, but her memory will continue to live on through the countless lives she touched, the love she shared, and the lasting impact of her gentle spirit.

Paula is survived by her brother, Erp Purcell; her daughter, Jennifer Campbell; and her son, Joshua Harris. She is also survived by her cherished granddaughters, Lily Keller and Daisy Keller, as well as seven beloved nieces and nephews-in-law.
