Paulette Gemma Obituary

Paulette Anne Gemma

07/30/1956 – 08/06/2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paulette Gemma, age 69, of Palm Coast Florida, who departed this life on August 6th 2025 unexpectedly in her own home. 

Paulette was born on July 30th 1956 in Northbridge Massachusetts to John B. And Claire Cadrin. She grew up in South Grafton , Massachusetts and went on to build her own business of landscaping - that’s what she loved to do. 

Paulette will always be remembered for her kindness and the way she cared for everyone around her. She had the sweetest, most loving spirit, and her strength and character made her a true role model of modesty, loyalty, and hard work. Her presence could light up any room, bringing joy and warmth to all she met. Above all, she loved making others happy and wanted nothing more than to spread love and happiness wherever she went.

She took great pride in everything she worked so hard for throughout her life. Her dogs held a very special place in her heart, and she adored each one she ever had. Her granddaughters were her world—she made sure they always knew how deeply loved and cherished they were. When she became a great-grandmother, her heart was fuller than ever. Her three great-grandchildren brought her endless joy, and she went out of her way to show them just how much they meant to her.

Paulette was loved not only by her family but also by her neighbors, who cared for her and her husband as if they were their own. She, in turn, loved them dearly and embraced them as family. She touched the lives of so many, and to know her was truly to love her. She brought joy wherever she went and will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.

Paulette is survived by her daughter Julie J. Gemma and her husband Christian K. Urella of Auburn, Massachusetts; Granddaughters Ashley A. Donald of Northbridge, Massachusetts and Tiffany L. Donald of Springfield, Massachusetts; Great Grandchildren Mason Wood , Hunter Donald, and Elias Gonzalez whom she loved very much.; Brother Donald Cadrin and his wife Patti Cadrin of South Grafton, Massachusetts. She was preceded in death by her Loving husband Jay R. Gemma of Palm Coast, Florida; Sister Jeannine I. Byrum of Grafton, Massachusetts; and her parents John B. And Claire Cadrin of Grafton, Massachusetts. 

A private service to celebrate Paulette’s life will be held on a later date.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Family and Friends for their support during this time.

Paulette’s family has entrusted her arrangements to Clymer Funeral Home & Cremations, 39 Old Kings Rd. N., Palm Coast, FL.
