Last week, people in McCloud got together to give a going-away party for Paula Kleinhans who has been part of the McCloud community family for about 29 years. She is moving to live with her daughter Erika in Spring Creek, Nevada. Paula has been part of the McCloud Garden Club, the McCloud Resource Center, and has helped with the McCloud Apple Harvest Festival along with many other community functions throughout her years in McCloud.
Paula came to live in McCloud with her daughter Kendra and son-in-law Russel Coleman when he got hired to work in the McCloud Mill, after her husband of many years passed. Her son, Kurt Kleinhans, also moved to McCloud and is currently residing in a house he built in town.
โI love looking at our mountain every day and will miss it along with my McCloud family that I have grown so fond of,โ says Kleinhans as she sits and reminisces with her long-time friends that she considers family. โAnother thing that I know I will miss is our wonderful spring water from the mountain.โ
