Athol was a small but strong woman. I enjoying spending time with her as well as eating her delicious biscuits and gravy. I have a few quilts she made for us over the years and am thankful I married into her family.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Athol was one of the most precious ladies and such a joy to be around. Her passing, brings back so many Lorado memories..... she was one of the original quilting crew, and I can remember as a young child going to her beauty shop with my mom, Ruby Myers. They were great friends. She was also a good friend to Carlos’s mom Pearlie. God Bless you all.
Sincerely, Carlos and Mary Ann Eason
