his sleep, at the age of 75.
Gail was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Stage 4 brain cancer in August

passions were playing golf, reading books on intrigue and suspense, and
collecting classic model cars.
Upon moving to Las Vegas, Gail met a group of wonderful friends and
golfing buddies who made his retirement extremely enjoyable.

Paula Kay Copeland left us on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015, with her
family by her side. Paula was born on April 18, 1958, in Phoenix, Ariz., and
was raised in Casa Grande, Ariz., until the age of 12. Paula was born to
Bufford and Doris Bagby. Her father worked as a
mechanic at the Nevada test site and served in the Korean War. Doris was
fortunate enough to stay home and and raise her four
girls.
She was recently preceded in death by her mother, Doris, May 7,
2014, and her father, Bufford Bagby, Feb. 4, 1988.
Paula is survived by her sisters,
Debbie Mendyk, Alice Blankenship
and Tina Dunlap; her husband, Dave Copeland; three children, Heidi Mackey
(Scott), Cory Bagby-Copeland (Gabbee),
Shanna Copeland (Eddie); and nine grandchildren, Isaac, Mckenzie,
Isabella, Krysta, Olivia, Jackson, Izzy, Lauren and Brody.
Paula was a talented artist. She taught art lessons throughout her
years and has had several art pieces in galleries and museums throughout
Arizona, Wyoming, Nevada and the Virgin Islands. Paula was described an Indian
princess by many. She was known to love the unlovable. If you didn't feel special,
you would feel amazing after you were with her for a short time.
Paula was remembered for her long fight with breast cancer. She was
originally diagnosed in 2005 and went into remission for six years. When the
cancer returned in 2011, she was committed to fighting even harder than the
first time. Paula did just that. And with every treatment, Paula would not
complain. She was courageous! She thanked God for all that she had and
continued to light up the room even when she was in pain. She insisted on
having family over as often as possible. She wanted to continue to host all the
holiday meals at her house and invite everyone that was willing to come. Paula
had a servant's heart. She reflected Christ in everything that she did and with
every word that was spoken. Paula did everything in love.
Funeral services for Paula Copeland will be held Saturday, March 7,
2015, at 1 p.m. at Winnemucca Christian Fellowship, 4380 Grass Valley Rd.,
Winnemucca, NV, 89445.
