Mrs. Paugh was born December 25, 1940 in Dayton, Ohio, the daughter of the late Otto C. Bass and Roberta (Park) Bass. She graduated from Ribault High School, class of 1959. She served as President of the American Businesswomen’s Association (ABWA) before her retirement. As a dedicated member of Commerce First United Methodist Church, she served in a substantial capacity as the President of the United Methodist Women in addition to serving in a number of other volunteer organizations within the church (Prayer and Care, Council of Ministries, Finance Committee, Altar Guild, Bereavement Team, Saints Alive "lunch bunch", Bible School, Sunday School, and Bible Study classes).
