Obituary For Paula V Coulstring

Coulstring, Paula Viktoria (Berger) of Hanson, formerly of Abington, died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on September 17, 2021. She was 93. Devoted mother of Anton Trigler and his wife LeeAnn of Hanson, Alisa Valley and her husband Glenn of Hanson, Sonya Coulstring and her partner Carl Battis of Park City, Utah and the late Alec Coulstring, Jr. She was the daughter of the late Anton and Theresia (Langbrandtner) of Bad Hofgastein, Austria. Paula was the cherished grandmother (Omi) to Antonia Solitro (Trigler), Andreas Trigler, Annaliese Fodera (Trigler), Alexander Valley, Christopher Valley, Michaela Hendrickson and Andrew Hendrickson. Paula was also blessed with 4 great grandchildren Sofia, Luca, Seppe, and Gabriella. She had a special place in her heart for Amigo, the family chocolate lab dog who watched over her. In addition, Paula leaves one brother Erwin (out of 11 siblings) and his wife Anita of Bad Hofgastein, Austria. She was well loved by many nieces, nephews, and dear friends from America and Austria. She traveled yearly back to her home country until she was 91 years old. Paula was born in a small village in Austria in 1928, one of 12 children. She came to the United States in 1961 after meeting and marrying her late husband Alec, whom she met in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Paula became an American citizen in 2003 and followed American politics regularly. She made family her passion every day. Paula (Omi, Mutti) was happiest when she was doing something for her children or grandchildren. She enjoyed singing, cooking many delicious Austrian foods, cleaning, ironing, sewing, working outside, and helping anyone that needed her help. She can be remembered by many for ironing everything, her generosity, loyalty, devotion to her family, devotion to her Catholic faith, kindness, and endless love. She prayed for all. She loved to bless her family, caretakers, Luann, Chrissy and Dianne and the dog daily. She went to church as often as she could and found joy when she attended the Lifeteen mass, where she could see the young teens celebrating mass together. Relatives and friends are respectfully to attend the funeral service which will be held in St. Mary's Catholic Church, 392 Hanover Street, Hanover on Wednesday, September 22 at 9:00 am. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Paula may be made to Lifeteen Smash c/o St. Mary’s Church, 392 Hanover Street, Hanover, MA 02339.

    Miss you everyday mom!

    To echo what our mother Gail Lenehan said, the Lenehan children are so lucky to have had Paula in our lives. We viewed her less as a nanny and more as a Grandmother. We will sincerely miss her but will always draw strength and profound joy from our memories of her.

    A small ad for childcare in a local paper was answered by Paula on the luckiest day of our lives. She became our cherished family member, for years, and never stopped amazing us with her countless talents, energy, and uncommon sense. She made EVERYthing look easy, multi-tasking, and accomplishing more than any three people . She was with us for many years, and we never stopped telling her how much she meant to us. She had many stories of growing up in Austria, and how difficult life was. She ended up working in Brazil, where she met her Alex, He promised that when he returned to the US, he would send for her, and have a wedding dress for her....and he did just that. And the rest is history. I will always be indebted to Alisa and never forget her kindness in letting me say goodbye to Paula as her remarkable family gathered around her.

    Sincere sympathy to all of you. Paula was a wonderful women, I was always amazed by her energy, strengthand kindness. She was always so nice to let all the neighborhood kids enjoy the pool and tennis courts. I have so many wonderful memories there. She was always doing something, I remember her being on the lower level sewing and ironing all the time. Sincerely, Lisa D'Amato

    Dear Toni and LeeAnn, Lisa and Glenn, Sonya and Carl, our sincere sympathy to all of you during these difficult days. We wish you much strength. Aunt Paula was a very special person to us who will be greatly missed. Especially her positive attitude towards life, her courage and determination to tackle things and her tireless efforts to keep the family together have impressed us very much. She was thus both a role model and an inspiration. I fondly remember her going skiing on the Stubnerkogel at the age of 70. She had not skied for many years and I was very surprised when she called me and said "please meet me at the top, I am already there". Another memory that reflects her concern for others was when she told the Black police officer who stopped her car in the dark during a traffic stop , "Officer, you should wear white gloves, we can't even see you". There are many anecdotes that come to mind about Aunt Paula that I will always remember fondly. We will plant a tree for her in the new forest cemetery in Bad Hofgastein, so that Aunt Paula will forever have a place in her home country. Our thoughts are with you. With love Seppi, Anna, Benni and Birgit, who would have loved to meet Aunt Paula in person.
