Celebration of Life Service set for Nov. 14th at the Land of Lakes location. All current & past members invited. Visit www.samanthataylorfitness.com/events to attend.
In honor, love and respect for one of the most amazing women I have ever met, we have lost a dear, sweet friend and trainer, Paula Girven. Paula is an amazing woman of God, personal trainer, friend, mother, and an Olympian! She cared deeply about those that God brought into her path and she gave selflessly to everyone who she came across.
She is one of the most kind, giving people I have ever met and is such an example of how to care for others. I met her five years ago when she came to my personal training studio to become a trainer. She shared with me her love of health and fitness, her love for people and showed me the medals she had from being in the Olympics! I was so impressed with her as an athlete, and as our relationship grew, I was even more astounded by her as a person. And we were always impressed by the physical shape she was in, even into her 60’s!
I am sad to say that she unfortunately did not get a mammogram soon enough and by the time they found the breast cancer, it had spread too much. Please every woman, go get a mammogram, it’s SO important to make sure if there is anything that can be dealt with, it’s caught as early as possible. My heart, and all that know Paula, are deeply saddened to not have her here but one thing I know is she loved Jesus, so God must have some amazing plans for her in heaven right now, for her not to be here. “We love you Paula!!!”
