Sadly, Paula passed away on 13 June 2009. On Paula’s 8th death anniversary, Jordan shared about her late mother on her Facebook. She wrote, “I lost my mom today, 8 years ago, when I was 17 years old. I didn’t value her as a teenager… I took her for granted and we fought like hell. The irony is, as a woman I value her so much more now, not even as a mother, but as a person. She was absurdly intelligent, studying biomedical engineering at Howard and Johns Hopkins, fierce, fearless, beautiful, and she was my mother.”
