Paula Patolinna

Paula Patolinna passed away peacefully on November 26th, 2022 at her home in Port Wentworth, Georgia. Born and raised in Kytaja, Finland, she immigrated to the United States in the early 1980's. Paula was a lover of the arts, a celebrated equestrian, and an avid traveler. From visiting the Asmat people of New Guinea to the smallest church in America, no adventure was too big or too small. She found beauty in paintings and opera while enjoying a good glass of “vino” and loved her horseback therapy. Paula was preceded in death by her parents Osmo and Anita Patolinna, as well as her husband, Richard Harste. Paula is survived by her brother, Petteri Patolinna, her three children Linus Lindroos, Pinya (Thomas) Kimberly, Anna (Joel) Christie, and grandson Vincent Christie.

Visitation will be held in memory of her and her husband Richard Harste at Baker McCullough Fairhaven Funeral Home at 2794 US-80 W, Garden City, GA 31408 on Friday December 16, 2022 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers or cards, please send donations to Coastal Pet Rescue in Paula's memory.
