An Aurora woman who was missing for several hours was found dead in a pond on Wednesday morning.
Paula Lynn Dean, 57, was reported missing about three hours before emergency personnel, who were looking for her, found her body in a private pond on Dutch Mill Road.
The woman who had Alzheimer’s, was located around 9:00 a.m. Police do not believe foul play was involved.
Family members said Dean was a very loving and upbeat person, and always a smile and good word for everyone. She was a 35 year employee of Aurora Casket Company.
An autopsy will be held to determine the exact cause of death.
