Born on August 7, 1949, in Chicago, Paula was a woman of warmth, kindness, and unwavering faith.

Paula's home was a place of welcome and love, where memories were made and traditions were treasured. She was the heart of her family, and her gentle presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Walter Thomas Grimm, Jr., her loving children, Theresa Grimm and Michael Grimm; her siblings, John DiCostanzo, Barbara Vorbau, and Richard (Gina) DiCostanzo; and many extended family members and friends who held her dear.
Paula was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Paul and Alice DiCostanzo, and her cherished sister, Carol Merchant.
Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched with her generosity, her creativity, and her boundless love.
