Paula J. Oliver Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Paula J. Oliver of Somerville, Massachusetts, who passed away at the age of 60, on November 28, 2024. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Paula J. Oliver to show support.

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

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, John F. DiPerna and Jean Mary DiPerna (MacDonald); her siblings, Albert J. DiPerna, John F. DiPerna II, Jeanne Johanson and Kathy Kelly; her husband John P. Oliver of Leominster; and her sons, John Anthony Oliver and David MacDonald Oliver. She was also cherished by many friends who will all miss her dearly, including her husband, father, sons, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, sisters, brothers, in-laws, cousins, many nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and great nephews.
