Paula G. McGrath

Paula Grace McGrath, a summer resident of Waterhole Road in Springs, died of breast cancer in London on Oct. 4. She was 46, and had been ill for a long time.

Ms. McGrath, a lawyer, was an adjunct professor in London for Fordham and Syracuse Universities. She had worked before 2000 in the legal department of the New York Life Insurance Company.

She was born in New York City on May 30, 1969, the daughter of John W. and Diane Lewis McGrath, and grew up in the city while spending summers in East Hampton. She attended the Nightingale-Bamford School and the Loyola School in Manhattan and earned a B.A. from American University in Washington, D.C. She received her law degree from Fordham Law School.

A marriage in April 2000 to Pape Diouf ended in divorce. Ms. McGrath had lived in London since 2001.

She is survived by two children, Dylan Diouf, 13, and Leopold Diouf, 10, both of London, and by a brother, John McGrath of South Salem, N.Y. Her father and stepmother, Jack and Patti McGrath of New York City and East Hampton, also survive, as do her mother and stepfather, Diane and William McKechnie of Jupiter, Fla.

A memorial service will be held in London on Monday. Contributions in honor of Ms. McGrath have been suggested to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue,  New York 10065.
