Paula Jean Fralick, 69, of Charlevoix passed away peacefully at her home on July 6th surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Paula was born on June 17, 1957 to William and Phyllis Robinson in Detroit, MI. She grew up with 5 older siblings and 38 cousins, all whom she loved and cherished very much.

Paula enjoyed spending time with her family as much as she could. She was an amazing cook and in her healthier years loved hosting large gatherings and parties for her friends and family. She enjoyed spending time soaking up the sun with a drink in her hand and spending time with her very close circle of girlfriends. Every year for over 30 years, Paula’s girl cousins would get together and have a fun weekend or week which Paula loved being a part of. Those family ties and “Cuzzie Time” were very special to her. Paula worked at the Flight Deck Bar and Charlevoix Area Hospital for many years and met many of her close friends there.

Paula is survived by her two children Colleen (Steve) Sitzema and Robert Fralick. Paula had 4 grandchildren- Paige Montgomery, Leah Fralick, Brenden Fralick, and Logan Fralick. Her grandchildren gave her 7 beautiful great grandchildren, who were the lights of her life- Kree, Kinslee, Steviana, Zachariah, Benjamin, Kaciee, and the newest beautiful addition, Riley. Paula is also survived by her sister Karen (Phillip) Camp, who was also very near and dear to Paula’s heart. Paula will also be lovingly remembered as a cherished aunt to several nieces and nephews.

Paula was preceded in death by her parents, 2 brothers Timothy and John (Jack), and 2 sisters Theresa and Kathleen.
