Paulette Katherine (Becker) Brown, age 80, of Pocola, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on June 25, 2025. She was born on September 2, 1944, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to the late I.R. and Dorothy (Weindel) Becker.
Paulette was a devoted and loving woman whose warmth and generosity touched the lives of all who knew her. She had a remarkable gift for making others feel included and valued, and she carried this spirit with her in every part of her life.
She was known for her love of collecting antiques-treasures that reflected her appreciation for the uniqueness and beauty of history. Paulette also had a deep affection for her loyal dog, Sassy, who brought her great joy and companionship. She loved traveling and cherished every opportunity to visit family, always making those moments special and memorable.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Roy Brown; her parents, I.R. and Dorothy Becker; three sisters; one brother; one niece; and one nephew.
Paulette is survived by her brother, Leo Becker and wife Jackie; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members who will forever remember her boundless love, welcoming heart, and selfless nature.
A viewing will be held at 5:00 p.m. with a 6:00 p.m. Rosary to follow on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at Lewis Funeral Chapel. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Barling, Arkansas, with Father Matt Garrison officiating. Services entrusted to Lewis Funeral Chapel.
