• Notes

  Los Angeles Times July 15, 2010 LESHAY, Paula Walling died on June 27 at the age of 77. Born the daughter of Willoughby Walling and Paula Salemson, "Mimi" grew up in the Hollywood Hills and moved to New York at the age of 18. In New York, she worked for RCA Victor Records and married Jerome Leshay. Early in their marriage, Paula and Jerome settled in L.A., where they raised three sons. Paula attained a bachelor's degree in anthropology at California State University, Northridge, and devoted the early part of her career to supporting homeless shelters and several social services agencies assisting domestic violence victims, runaway youth and Alzheimer's patients. As her career progressed, Paula led day care and youth services at the YWCA of Glendale and served as executive director of Westside Women's Health Center in Santa Monica. She co-founded and directed L.A.'s Friends of the Garden, assisting disabled persons through horticultural therapy and business programs, and during the past 16 years became a distinguished grant writer, most notably on behalf of Haven Hills, a nonprofit agency supporting victims of domestic violence. Paula leaves behind three sons, Jeffrey, Michael and Jonathan, three grandchildren, Austin, Phoebe and Audrey, and her sister, Topi. They will always remember her longtime support of civil rights, peace and other progressive causes, as well as her sarcastic wit and uncommonly poignant pen.
