Born June 18, 1938, in Celina, he was a son of the late Joseph Elking and Anna (Leugers) Elking Miller. Paul and Mary Ann Darnell were married in 1965.
Mary Ann survives, along with children: Elaine Elking of St. Marys, and Kenneth Elking, Carol (Terry) Walter, and David (Heather) Elking, all of Celina, 9 grandchildren: Melissa, Nicholas, Christopher, Clay, Stephanie, Cortland, Cali, Dylan and Morgan, 6 great grandchildren: Mahalie, Maddox, Makinsley, Connor, Lucy Lou and Millie Mae, and sisters-in-law: Antoinette (Douglas) Shema of Celina and Catherine Darnell of Cincinnati.

Paul was a member of the Immaculate Conception Church and Knights of Columbus Council #1800 in Celina. His favorite activities were bargain hunting and attending auctions.
