I am so sorry to hear about dear Polly's passing in October. I am so sad that no one contacted me! :( Polly was my sponsor in St. Margaret's when I got re-confirmed many years ago. She was such a good friend of mine. I started to travel with my business and we were not in as close touch but we were always in one anothers hearts! She helped me get my body workers training also. I so miss my Polly and wish I would have known sooner.

Polly will be dearly missed-But never forgotten. Her contributions and devotion to Ironwood Country Club will be long remembered as well as her contagious laugh and good humor. She was one beautiful lady, inside as well as outside.

We were proud to be her friends! John & Judie

Polly Aldige was one of the kindest, nicest people we have ever met. Her smile was infectious and her love of animals AND people was precious. She was a stalwart at St. Margaret's Church and supported its mission and its music program as much as she could. She will be missed in a myriad of ways. But her smile and memories of her will always live on with those knew and cherished her.
