Paula Leanne Rickard passed away on Saturday, April 16, 2022, at North Mississippi Medical Center in West Point, after a long battle with liver cancer.
Paula was born on September 29, 1965, in Oregon, the daughter of the late Harry and Barbara Cook. She worked as a cook at the Tin Lizzie Cafe in West Point.
She is survived by one son, Ashton Rickard.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Calvert Funeral Home of West Point is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements.
Dear Rickard family, one of the saddest things someone can experience is the death of a loved one. Did you know the Bible compares death to sleep? (Psalms 13:3) Just as a person who is asleep is unaware of what is happening around him, the dead are not conscious of anything. There is a promise of hope in the Bible. Our loving God has promised to awaken the dead, as if from sleep, and give them life again. Acts 24:15 says, “There is going to be a resurrection.” The bible offers comfort for those who are grieving and I hope this brings you comfort as well.
