Paula Steimer Santoski passed away at her home on Lake Conroe, Texas, surrounded by her loving family on September 5th, 2025.  She is survived by her son, Robert "Bobby" J. Santoski, Jr., her fiance', John "Jack" Doane, brothers and sisters, Mary Kirby Rinaldi, Linda Curcio (Larry), Joseph Steimer, Jr., Kathleen Steimer, Christopher Steimer (Kathy), Patrice Sharp (Mike), Eileen Rensel (Bob), Martin Steimer (Eleanor), numerous nieces and nephews, and special niece, Jeanna Durand.  Paula was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Esther Steimer, and her daughter, Samantha Leigh Santoski (1987-2022).

Paula was born October 2nd, 1954, and grew up in Duquesne, Pennsylvania.  She was a graduate of the Class of 1972 at Duquesne High School.  Paula went onto receive a degree in economics, and moved to Houston, Texas, in 1980. Paula was a successful recruiter for many large corporations as she recruited staff to work overseas on major projects.  As a resident of River Oaks in Houston for many years, Paula also enjoyed living between Destin, Florida, with the Doane family, and her lake home in Walden, Texas.

Paula touched the lives of so many people, as she had a talent for making all things beautiful. Extremely generous and loving, we were fortunate to have her a part of our lives.  Paula fought a long fourteen year battle with cancer, but did not let that define her.  She will be remembered for her infectious laugh, generous heart, and unending love for her family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 4th, 2025, at the lake house in Conroe, Texas.
