Paulette A Irvin

Paulette A Irvin, 81, of Klondike passed away early Thursday morning January 15, 2026, at Christus Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs.  She was born in Winnsboro, Tx., the daughter of Leonard E. Holt and Pauline Holt. Paulette married Thomas Lloyd Irvin on April 24, 1965, a union that would have been for 61 years this coming April.

Paulette was an individual that fit the description of the Proverbs 31 woman in many ways; she "worked willingly with her hands" at Haggard Slacks, U.S. Brass, Deluxe Cleaners and doing ceramics and sewing from her home for many years. One of her special projects was making her daughter's wedding dress. Paulette liked to be on the go; which included her daily trips to the DQ to get her Dr. Pepper fix. She was also an active member of the Klondike Church for many years where she blessed the congregation with her baking skills anytime they had a meal (and they ate often !!).

Paulette is survived by her husband, Tommy, son, Thomas Christopher Irvin (Susan) of Klondike, daughter, Sonja Sneed (Rodney) of Commerce, grandson, Clinton Sneed, granddaughter, Caitlin Tonko (Tyler), granddaughter, Adyson Irvin and grandson, Tyler Irvin, and two sisters also survive her, Maxine Koller (Thomas) of Canton, Tx. and Patricia Wood (Gerald) of Crandall, Tx. She was proceeded in death by her parents.
