NAPOLEON -- Paula Jean Bernice Saneholtz, 84, of Napoleon, Ohio, passed away January 28, 2013, at the Golden Living Center, Northcrest Nursing Home, Napoleon, Ohio.
She was born July 30, 1928, in Malinta, Ohio, the daughter of Raymond and Loretta (Schueler) Plotts. On August 20, 1949, she married Norris "Tony" H. Saneholtz, and he preceded her in death on October 11, 2012.
Although she held many jobs throughout her life, including 15 years on the staff of Northcrest Nursing Home, her primary work was maintaining order in a household of five sons. Her efforts were successful as all five sons grew to become respected professionals and loving fathers.

Paula attended St. Augustine Catholic School and graduated from Napoleon High School in 1946.
