Paula, I feel bad for her.

History--In 1989, she divorced her husband, Jimmy Deen,
to whom she had been married since 1965.
^{Paula was left with $200 bucks.} 
Money was tight raising both her kids and her younger brother, Earl 
they call Bubba. She tried hanging wallpaper,
working as a bank teller, and selling real estate.
Then came  a catering service,
making sandwiches and meals, 
which her Children Jamie and Bobby delivered.

About 1987 on Whitaker St She opened
The Lady and Sons Restaurant in Savannah.

The Paper USA Today
 named The restaurant  "International Meal of the Year" in 1999. 

The specialty is a  big buffet of Southern "comfort foods."^[

Salad and desert included. Then in 2008,  opened another restaurant, 

the Paula Deen Buffet,  in  Tunic Co. Mississippi.

Well, I am sure she is crying all the way to the bank.
Miss Deen has made some big money.
God Bless Oprah! She has been a friend to Paula.
