It is Lelania Ann Seal. On December 28, 2023, Paul was buried in the presence of her family before being called home to be with our Lord and Saviour. In addition to having completed her high school education at Zachary, Lelania was a resident of Baton Rouge.
For her son Michael, her stepdaughters Sadie, Carissa, and Shanna, as well as her granddaughter Collette, she was a kind and dedicated mother and grandmother who lavished them with love without conditions.
William “Bill” Paul, the man who had represented the love of Lelania’s life, was her husband. As a result of her strong desire to love and serve others to the maximum extent, she was able to achieve great success in her work in hospitality. Travelling, cooking, and creating memories with her many family and friends were some of Lelania’s favourite things to do.
