April 1, 1949 — August 24, 2011
Paula (Hatch) Feller passed away Aug. 24, 2011 in Kansas City, MO. Memorial services will be held at 1 pm, Monday, Aug. 29 at the United Church of Christ, 226 E. Main, Vermillion, SD; cremation.
Paula was born April 1, 1949 to Ardell and Rula Hatch in Wakonda, SD. Paula attended grade school in Wakonda and graduated high school in 1967. After graduation Paula moved to Aberdeen where she completed her Elementary Education degree at Northern State University. Paula taught in the Aberdeen school district for 34 years.
Paula married Wayne Feller and they had two children: Scott Feller and Sara (Feller) Jefferson. Paula’s joy has always been children. She loved the relationships she built with her students and co-workers. She was always running into her former students no matter where she was. She retired from the Aberdeen School District in May, 2007 and moved to Lee’s Summit, MO to be closer to her grandchildren.
Paula loved her family more than anything. She has fond memories of all. Paula loved to tell stories about her grandchildren. During her life with cancer there were two things she would always say - “I have no time to think about my cancer. My grandchildren keep me to busy” or “The best thing about cancer is all the wonderful people I have met.”
Her smile and laugh will be forever embedded in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her. Paula’s Savior took her home to Heaven, where she enjoys salvation and peace. Paula will be missed immensely. She wanted all her family and friends to be happy and enjoy each day as if it was their last.
Paula is grateful for having shared her life. She is survived by son Scott Feller & Natasha Swanson, Groton, SD; daughter Sara Jefferson and husband Lee, Lee’s Summit, MO grandson Jackson Feller Jefferson, granddaughters Jaliyah Jefferson and Amira Jefferson, all of Lee’s Summit, MO; parents Ardell & Rula Hatch, Vermillion, SD; sister Natalie Sturm and husband Bob, Sioux Falls, SD; sister Kimberly Di Benedetto and husband Guy, Pierre, SD and many nieces and nephews.
