Paulette had been a big part of the success of Belfast Holidayworld over 30 years, and I will miss our conversations throughout the year and her enthusiasm to make the show the best it could be. She was always supportive of our team at NITN and me,  and we will miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out the Mauren, Edmund, Maria, Shane, all the Holidayworld staff and her family at this sad time; they have lost an invaluable member of their team and a lovely person. May she rest in peace.”

As we reflect on Paulette’s time with us, we remember a life so beautifully lived, and beautifully shared with everyone who knew Paulette.”
