Obituary: In Loving Memory of Paula Denise (Desormier) Rubke

Paula Denise Rubke, 47, of Carson City, passed away unexpectedly on October 26th, 2021.

Paula was born on November 21, 1973 to loving parents Paul and Sandy Desormier in Vallejo, CA. Paula enjoyed swimming, photography, and concerts in her youth, and her passion for photography continued throughout her life. After graduating from Vallejo High School in 1991, Paula went on to complete a degree in History at Sonoma State University.

Paula married John Rubke in 2003, and they went on to have two children. Being a mother was one of the most important parts of Paula’s life, a role that gave her much pride and joy. She was an excellent mom, and a wonderful friend; she was supportive, kind, and funny, and we will all miss her dearly.

Paula is survived by her husband, John Rubke, and their sons, Ronin and Ryder Rubke; her parents, Paul and Sandy Desormier; her brother and his wife, Paul Jr. and Danielle Desormier, and nieces, Kaitlin and Brianna Desormier; numerous beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins, and friends near and far.
