Paula Booth retires after two decades of service to the people of DeKalb

Paula Booth retires after two decades of service to the people of DeKalb
Paula Booth and the rest of the City Hall office always went all out for the annual Trunk or Treat. Pictured are, left to right, former DeKalb Municipal Court Judge Joni Haldeman, former DeKalb City Secretary Abbi Capps, Booth, and current DeKalb City Secretary Jamie Shipley.

Following a career with the City of DeKalb that lasted close to a quarter century, one of the city’s most enduring public servants, Paula Booth, has retired from public office.

Paula first started working for the City of DeKalb back in 1999, beginning her many years of service to the people of DeKalb at the time of one of its most historic days, the May 3, 1999 tornado.

She left briefly to work for Justice of the Peace Gerold Rankin, but after two years with the JP’s office returned to City Hall and to serving the people of the town she devoted her life to serving.
