Paula Johnson

Paula Johnson was a Pembroke resident whose life was rooted in the small coastal communities of Washington County, Maine. Public records and local reporting identify her as 53 years old at the time of her death in February 2022. While formal obituary notices could not be located in the public record, local news and official sources confirm that she was known in the area and that her passing was felt by those who knew her.

Living in a close-knit Down East community often means people show up for one another in practical ways and quiet kindnesses. Those who reported on Paula’s death described a home on Leighton Point Road and neighbors and friends who noticed when she was missing. Though details about her daily routines, work, and family life are limited in the public record, the attention given to her death by local law enforcement and reporters indicates she was a recognized member of her town.

When public details are sparse it is important to honor the fact that a real life has been lost. Paula’s life — like that of any person — included relationships, ordinary moments, and connections that mattered to others. Community reporting and official listings identify the dates and locations connected with her final days, and later court reporting records the legal outcome linked to the events of February 2022. Those facts underscore that Paula’s life intersected with many people in the region, whose memories and grief are private and deserving of respect.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching her name and the exact date of death was found in available public archives, this remembrance aims to center her humanity rather than the surrounding circumstances. If family or close friends wish to provide additional memories, photographs, or personal details, those additions would help create a fuller, more personal tribute to Paula — one that places the warmth of her life and relationships at the center of her memorial.

In remembering Paula Johnson, we acknowledge the limits of public record while affirming that every life holds relationships and moments that matter. May any who loved her find comfort in their memories and in the company of family and community.
