Paula (Tyner) was born October 12, 1926 in Detroit Michigan. She lived in the Detroit area her entire life. Paula and her then husband, Robert Levison, had a son, Bruce Levison (born April 15, 1952). She remarried in 1969 to Dr. Henry Siegel at Temple Israel. Henry died in 2000 leaving his niece Bonnie, who became like a daughter to Paula.

Paula was very close to her mother and father, Jean Hartman and David Tyner. Her father died at a young age, at which point Paula spent a lot of time with her mother and younger brother, Herb Tyner. Herb and his wife, Suzanne, were an important part of Paula's life, spending holidays, birthdays and family Sunday dinners together.

Paula's family and friends meant the world to her. She adored her son Bruce and his wife, Sandy, while continuing her relationships with Bruce's prior wives, Mindi and Kathy. As the proud grandmother of her grandchildren, Darrell, Keith, and Jenna Levison, Paula was looking forward to the addition of Jenna’s future husband, Caesar, to the family.

Her nieces and nephews, Debbie Tyner and Rick Herman, Cynthia Dobbins, Karen and Doug Rouff, David and Gael Tyner, and their children and grandchildren were an integral part of her life, spending time with them and never having missed their birthdays or anniversaries. Her joie de vie spirit as well as her caring nature will be missed by everyone who knew her.
