Paula was born June 29, 1931 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of the late Thomas Joseph Cloherty and the late Margaret Cloherty (nee - Murphy). She is the wife of James A. Agnew; mother of Jim Agnew and his wife Karen, Kevin Agnew, Kathleen Agnew, Sheila Rothenberger, Jennifer Agnew, Timothy Agnew and his wife Kimberly, Chris Agnew and his wife Lisa; grandmother of Ian, Audrey, Evan, Sean and his wife Annmarie, Chris and his fiancée Casey, Austin, Lily and her Fiancé Alex, Julia, Shane, Brendan, Greg, Tommy, Davin, Jayden, and Naomi; great grandmother of Beau and one on the way.

Paula was born, raised, and educated in Philadelphia. She was a 1949 graduate of Little Flower High School. After her schooling, she went to work for the Federal Reserve Bank. It was here that she met James Agnew. The two worked together, getting to know each other, for four years before dating in 1954. They were married in 1957 at St. Martin of Tours Parish in the Oxford Circle section of Philadelphia. They started their lives together in Lansdowne before moving into Maple Glen where they raised their family for 40 years. During her time in Maple Glen, Paula started working as School Secretary at St. Alphonsus Catholic School where her children attended. She survived a battle with breast cancer and, with that strength, decided that she can get over her fear of flying. She started with a flight to Florida and then followed it with many trips including her favorite travels to Ireland. Paula enjoyed following Irish genealogy, reading, and cooking.
