Justine Paul was born April 16, 1947 to Nonie Beatrice Jordan and the late Emphis Jordan in Cleveland, Ohio. She was one of four children born to this union. She leaves to cherish her memory: Her mother, Nonie Beatrice Jordan, and her brother Leonard Jordan. She was preceded in death by her two sisters, Lenora Bryson and Juanita Jones.

On July 31, 1965- Justine was united in holy matrimony to Richard Allen Paul, Sr. and from this union she was blessed with one daughter; Nichole Renee’ Paul.

Justine was a graduate of Glenville High School. She dedicated over 40 years to a career in dietary services at University Hospitals of Cleveland. One of her favorite things to do was cook and serve others.

Justine accepted Christ at a young age and was baptized at St. Timothy Baptist Church. In 1977, she joined Mt. Gillion Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Pastor, Freddie L. Brown and has been a faithful member ever since. Justine loved her church family, and loved being a servant of the Lord. God blessed her with the spiritual gift to serve others and Justine did just that- unselfishly. She served as president of the Nurses Ministry, she was a member of the Ester Circle, First Lady Armor Bearer, Pastors Aid, and also a member of the Shepherd Care Ministry.

Apart from her devotion to church, Justine still found ways to serve others. She loved hosting family gatherings and cookouts in the summer months. Family meant everything to her, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Justine also enjoyed listening to music, playing cards, shopping, and watching game shows with her mother.

Loving memories will be cherished by her Mother, Nonie Beatrice Jordan, Godmother, Hattie Lyles, Children, Nichole Paul and Richard Allen Paul Jr., Brother, Leonard Jordan and his wife Cynthia Jordan.
