It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a remarkable woman of the Southwest, my mother Mattie Paul. She was born on the eve of the Great Depression in 1929 and grew up on the family homestead farm in the shadow of Camelback Mountain near Phoenix. Growing up Mattie helped her dad on the family farm and raising livestock. She went on to earn an Associates degree from Maricopa County Community College and later earned a Bachelors of Science from Eastern New Mexico University. Mattie was a longtime public servant: as a civilian for the US Air Force, for the Federal Housing Administration, for the Social Security Administration and for several state Health and Human Service agencies. She was also a homemaker raising 4 daughters. She was a gardener, maker, crafter, quilter, knitter and painter. She loved the Southwest, wearing turquoise bolo ties with her fancy boots and hat. Mattie’s favorite magazine was Arizona Highways which inspired many of her paintings. She enjoyed many relaxing afternoons on the porch of her retirement home in the North Valley of Phoenix. She died after a lengthy stay in hospice on May 25, 2021.
