Paula Sue (Kirby) Arntz

Paula Sue Arntz (Kirby), 73, of Boynton Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2025, surrounded by love.

Born on October 18, 1952, Paula was the beloved daughter of the late Barbara (Pruitt) Kirby and Arnold “Bill” Kirby. She is preceded in death by her sister, Debbie Williams (Kirby).

She is survived by her devoted husband, Dennis E. Arntz; her loving stepdaughters, Tammy Jean Otten and Nichole T. Arntz; her cherished sister Mindy Pratt (Kirby) and brother-in-law Ted Pratt, along with their two daughters, Paula’s beloved nieces. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Michael Williams, and many extended family members and friends who will carry her memory close to their hearts.

In her early years, Paula was a passionate and talented hairdresser whose creativity and warmth brought joy to many. Later in life, she returned to school and found new purpose as a paralegal, continuing to help others with the same dedication that defined her life.

Paula and Dennis shared a love of the sea — spending cherished time together boating on weekends and cruising across the Caribbean. She was an artist at heart who loved to paint, host family gatherings, and fill her home with laughter and warmth. Her chess pie was legendary, and her holiday celebrations were the highlight of every season.

A proud member of the Eagles Club of Boynton Beach, Paula will be remembered for her vivacious spirit, fierce loyalty, and the way she never met a stranger. Her tenacious personality and boundless love left a lasting mark on all who knew her.

Paula (“Hun”), you will be missed more than words can say. Your family in life loves you dearly, and your light will forever shine in our hearts.
