Danielle Marie Paulson

Paulson, Danielle M.

Danielle, age 50, of Cleveland, Ohio, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. She was an inspiration to all who knew her, fighting selflessly and silently with extraordinary grace.

A classic “boy mom,” Danielle poured her whole heart into her sons. She was at every game, every milestone, every moment—cheering, supporting, and loving them with a fierce devotion that defined her life. Her boys were her world, and they gave her the courage to keep fighting for as long as she did.

By her side through it all was her devoted husband, who stood with her unconditionally and with unwavering love every step of the way. Their bond was one of true partnership, resilience, and tenderness.

As a sister and best friend, she had a rare gift: she could make those around her smile no matter what they were going through. Her warmth, humor, and gentle spirit made her a source of comfort and joy to countless people.

One of Danielle’s greatest gifts was her calming presence. She always reminded those she loved to breathe—to slow down, to find peace in the chaos, and to trust that things would be okay. It was her way of grounding the people around her, and that gentle reminder will echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

To many, Danielle was more than a wife, mother, sister, daughter, cousin, or friend—she was a beacon of strength, kindness, and quiet courage. Her ability to inspire others, even in her hardest moments, will remain one of her greatest legacies.

Survived by husband Andrew Paulson; sons Brady and Cooper Paulson; dad and mother, David M. and Patti Jakubs; sister Desiree Jakubs (and fiancé Joseff Floyd); brother David M. Jakubs, Jr. (wife Arita Jakubs); niece Georgia Jakubs; nephew Knox Jakubs; mother-in-law Julie Kane and father-in-law Herbert Paulson.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to love her.
