Dina Marie Paul

March 16, 1961 - May 23, 2014

Dina Marie Paul, 53, a Cape Coral, FL resident for the last five years, formerly of Pasadena, CA, passed away Friday, May 23, 2014 in Ft. Myers, FL. She was born in Wickliffe, OH on March 16, 1961.
Dina was a member of Cape Christian Fellowship Church, Cape Coral, where she volunteered in pastoral care and where she touched many lives and developed many wonderful friendships. She attended Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Grade School in Wickliffe, Ohio, LakeCatholicHigh School in Mentor, Ohio. She graduated summa cum laude from Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA and then attended Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA where her desire to serve the Lord and provide care to others led her to obtain her Master’s degree in clinical psychology from a Christian perspective.

Despite a life marked by illness, her faith never wavered, nor did her joy in helping others and always with a ready, caring heart and an attentive ear. Friends and family will remember her for her selflessness, compassion and undaunted faith, which inspired many through her example. She loved music, singing, playing cards and board games, watching movies, cooking, and her loyal dog Tucker, who served as her constant companion.

She is survived by her beloved father, William Paul (Jeanne) of Euclid, OH and Cape Coral, FL; five siblings, William Paul, Jr. (Karen) of Hudson, OH, Valerie Paul, Kerry Paul and Stacie Waller (Joseph) all of Wickliffe, OH and Chaplain (Capt.)
