Paulina Amezcua Self

Paulina Amezcua Self, 24, of Crossett, died Sunday, January 1, 2023, at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science in Little Rock. Paulina was a native of Monticello, a resident of Crossett for the past three years, and a former resident of Hamburg for many years. She was a 2017 graduate of Hamburg High School and a member of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Hamburg. Her greatest joy in life was being a mother, and took pride in being a stay-at-home mom. Paulina cherished her family and friends and would spend as much time as possible with them. She enjoyed going shopping with her friends and would never turn down a trip for iced coffee or crawfish. Paulina loved being outdoors fishing, and swimming. She was a free spirit that loved to dance, sing and was often known as “the life of the party.”
