onderful memories. Chris provided well for his family as he poured a lot of time and effort into his business, Conley's Trucking. You could always expect him to be the first one at the shop and the last one to leave. Above all though was his love for family including his loving wife of 39 years, Jene, their three sons and nine grandchildren. His parents precede Chris in death. He is survived by his loving wife Jene Paulsen of Ames; three sons Jeff (Carrie), Dan (Kelly) and Jon (Patti); four siblings Larry (Jeanne), Rick (Roberta), Lisa and Karin (Les); nine grandchildren Kellie, Josh, Jaclyn, Abby, Andrew, Emily, Ariana, Adam, and Joey; and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family who will forward them to Good Neighbor Emergency Assistance Cornerstone Church 56829 US Highway 30 Ames, IA To read the full obituary, please click here: http://www.adamssoderstrum.com/obituaries/Chris-Paulsen?obId=4065732#/obituaryInfo
