Paula Hynes Obituary
Paula Rose HYNES "a dove has flown" My beautiful and devoted wife, Paula Hynes, passed away at home on Sunday, October 7, 2007 in Lake Forest Park, WA with her family by her side. Born in Yakima, WA on November 2, 1944, she was the loving daughter of Paul and Mabel Templin. The Templin family relocated to Bellingham, WA where Paula attended and graduated from Bellingham High School, Class of 1962. In 1974, Frank Hynes was truly blessed when Paula came into his life and they married in 1975. They combined families and Paula unconditionally gave her love, support and compassion to each of the children. She was never one to complain, even during her extended illness. Paula always looked for the best in everyone and in every situation. Paula is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Francis (Frank) Hynes, and their children: Linda Pearson and her husband, David, Francis M. Hynes, Diana Tomaso and her husband, Tony, Les Paul Wilkinson, David Wilkinson, Steven Wilkinson and his wife, Kari. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren: Lauren, John J., Andrew, Ashley, John, Serena, Alicia, Courtney and Carmen. Her siblings include her sister, Myrna Rodenberger, brother, Virgil Templin and his wife, Linda. Her cousins, Dale and Carol, nieces and nephews, Rhonda, Lisa, Teresa, Larry, and Donald. She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, relatives, friends and all those whose lives she touched, especially her loving husband. The family invites you to join them for the Funeral Service for Paula at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 13, 2007, at Faith Lutheran Church (8208 18th Ave NE Seattle, WA 98115), followed by a reception at the church.

I met Paula 3 years ago through my friend Tim Klasen. Although I only knew her a short time, I felt very close to her through her warm and generous ways. Paula, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see the migrating whales in Maui last year. Fly with the angels my friend!

I had met Paula through my friend, Sam, 8 years ago. From the moment I had met her I knew she was a "God Wink" and was brought into my life for a reason. We all have shared special times over the years with Paula and I have been fortuneate enough to have met her husband, Frank, as well as many of her very close friends and family - All of whom have been touched by Paula's own warmth, generosity, and humor. GOD BLESS you, Paula, I will always remember!!
Love,
Ginny and Rick Eck

Paula, has been my best friend, my sister and my mother all rolled into one since 1979. I can’t begin to tell you the sorrow I feel right now. The one thing that makes me smile is knowing she is sitting there on a cloud with my mother and grandmother laughing about to give me a big thunk on the side of my head for not laughing and sharing all the great times we had.
As they say, time will heal the loss…for now I am remembering the incredible impact Paula has had on my life.
Love, Sam Halpin
