Tyra Crews Paul, age 49, passed from this life on March 3, 2026 in Dandridge, Tennessee.

Mrs. Paul was born in Alexandria, Louisiana to Charles and Audrey Crews of Deville, Louisiana. Growing up, she attended school at Buckeye which is where she met the love of her life, James Paul. They married on July 14, 1995 and were inseparable throughout their 30 years of marriage; the perfect image of true love. Together they had two beautiful daughters, Alyssa and Ellen. Tyra loved her little family with everything she had in her and that love only grew when she gained two grandsons, Asher and Audric. She was the world’s best wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She made everyone she met feel special. She was so selfless in the way that she loved and cared for those around her. There could never be adequate words to describe how admired she was by everyone who knew her.

Tyra is survived by her husband, James Paul; father, Charles Crews; daughters, Alyssa and Ellen Paul; brothers, Bruce Dyer and Harlan Crews; grandchildren, Asher and Audric Bordelon; best friend, Lynette Moore, and a host of family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her mother; Audrey Crews, grandparents; James and Ruby Crews and Claudie and Nettie Aymond; aunt, Helen Dyer and sisters-in-law, Lynette Dyer and Dr. Julie Porter Crews.

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
