Paulette Schreiner was born on September 27, 1950, in Cleveland, Ohio. A graduate of Ohio University, she moved to Los Angeles in the early 1970's. During a 30-year career working for ABC Television Studios, Paulette had the privilege of working with many talented performers, artists, and crew; she cherished the memories of working special events, such as the 1984 Olympics, numerous Academy Award ceremonies, and the American Music Awards. She herself earned a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on the TV show General Hospital.

In her free time, Paulette enjoyed being in her happy place — her kitchen — crafting recipes, canning, making jam, and using every kitchen gadget imaginable.

Her pride and joy were her three children. She was a kind, considerate, and dearly devoted mother, wife, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.
