PANDORA – Paula Jeanne (Martin) Cannode, 75, of Pandora, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2023, at Bridge Hospice, Findlay. She was born on July 20, 1948, in Lima to the late Paul and Martha (Gable) Martin. On February 3, 1968, she married Charles Cannode, who survives in Pandora.
Paula is also survived by their three children: Dana (Rod) Inbody, Katie (Eric) Deken, both of Pandora and Jeff (Amanda) Cannode of Gilboa; thirteen grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and a brother, Jeff Martin of Gilboa.
She is also preceded in death by a brother, Dane Martin; and sister, Linda Martin.
Paula was a graduate of the Pandora-Gilboa Class of 1966. She loved crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, collecting cookbooks, reading and watching her OSU Buckeyes. But her greatest love was watching her grandchildren grow. She could never tell her grandchildren “no.” She was a great wife, mother and grandmother, who loved being with her family and friends.
Funeral services will begin 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at LOVE FUNERAL HOME, Ottawa with Pastor Matt Steiner officiating. Burial will follow at Harman Cemetery, Gilboa. Visitation will be held from 6 – 8 p.m. on Monday and 10 – 11 a.m. on Tuesday at the funeral home.
