While cemeteries might be an afterthought most of the 365 days each year, they are central to the services that routinely take place every Memorial Day. And they’re central to the services Derby’s Paula Zollinger provides. For 26 years now, Zollinger has helped with the upkeep at Derby’s local cemeteries (El Paso and Hillcrest). Zollinger and her maintenance crew mow and trim the cemeteries, dig and backfill graves and generally keep things tidy. Those maintenance responsibilities then go into overdrive around Memorial Day – one of the biggest days of the year for the Derby cemeteries.
