Paul Cottrell Obituary

We are sad to announce that on October 16, 2024, Paul Cottrell of Wilmington, Delaware passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid Paul farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Paul is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Arvil Earl Cottrell Jr. and Guðbjörg Cottrell (Guðmundsdóttir); his wife Carolyn Pokoyski; his children, Jonathan and Elizabeth Zelley (Scott); his grandchildren, Oskar and Hazel Zelley; his brother Earl Cottrell; and his sisters-in-law, Christine Kelly and Lorrie Cooper.
