Former Board Member Memorial:
Paula J Mandell
May 14, 1959 - January 4, 2008
The Board of Directors of Citizens for Midwifery remembers
Paula with love and great appreciation.
She was a wise and wonderful friend in addition to contributing her time
and talent to the organization for many years.
We will miss her.
Paula was involved with Citizens for Midwifery since 1996,
when she volunteered to help with the CfM News, a simple black and white
photocopied publication at the time. She was involved with the development of
the new logo, newsletter design and website design, and their implementation,
in 2000. She also filled a vacancy on the Board of Directors in that year and
served on the Board through 2005. Over all those years she continued to format
the newsletter, keep the website updated, and administer the Grassroots
Network. She also created ads, signs and fliers as needed.
Prior to 2000 Paula was an
independent midwife for 12 years in Nebraska and Arkansas. She also did
volunteer work for a local domestic violence shelter for 6 years, and later
volunteered with a home-hospice care organization.
Through all these years we have
enjoyed her wit and wisdom, and greatly appreciated all the work she
contributed to Citizens for Midwifery.
