Paula E. Hutchings, 90, of Warren, Pa. died Tues-day, June 19, 2012 in War-ren Manor following an ex-tended illness. Born Febru-ary 20, 1922 in Penfield, NY to the late Joseph and Lena Wagner Newman, she had resided in the Warren area most of her life. She had been employed as an LPN. A minister's wife, Paula was a former member of the First Baptist Church until its closing. There she was active with the Mission Group, Women's Circle and Bible Study.

As a per-son of deep and abiding faith, she is now at peace with her Lord and Savior and that gives comfort to her family and friends. -"She was our angel and our rock".
