IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Paul Eugene
Golla
April 11, 1930 – September 28, 2024
Paul E. Golla passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 29, 2024, at the age of 94. Born in Reynoldsville, PA, he was a loving husband, father, and friend.
He was employed by Exide Corporation for more than 30 years before retiring in 1987.
Paul enjoyed golfing, bowling, hunting, and going to the casino. He was an avid gardener and was most proud of his cucumbers. He was an Eagles fan and loved football. Paul was involved in many different volunteering activities throughout his life.
For anyone who knew Paul, he would be the first to tell you that the only real singer in the entire world was Frank Sinatra. Nobody could ever hold a candle to Frank. He enjoyed a good glass of Jack on the rocks {because this was Frank's drink} and anyone who knew Paul believes this is what allowed him to have a long and wonderful life.
In addition to his loving daughter, Sandra Keim, he is survived by his grandson, Christopher P. Scott and his wife, Lindsay, and great grandson, Conner of Kittery, ME.
He was predeceased by his wife, Jennie M Golla in 1990, whom he married in 1955, fiancée Jean Leibensperger in 2021, and his son-in-law, Don Keim, in 2023.
In addition, he was predeceased by parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Golla; sisters: Leona, Helen, Anna Margaret, Mary, Theresa, and brother, Joseph.
A Gathering to celebrate Paul's life will be held Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the Immaculate Conception Church at 501 Ridge Ave, Allentown, PA at 9:00 until the mass of Christion Burial at 10:00AM. Interment will follow immediately after at Cedar Hill Memorial Park, 1700 Airport Road Allentown, PA
