I'm so very sorry for your loss of this sweet lady. I would visit with her when I went to see my mother at the nursing home. Also she remembered me from attending Auctions. She would also let my mother know when it was time to play Bingo or special Events. she will be missed by all who knew her.
So sorry to hear this. She was a long time good friend. Many happy memories of early auctions. Her personality was infectious. She will be missed.
