I have many fond memories of Cissy. She was my Mother in law. Cissy not only was the “Queen” of canning she made the best potato salad ever!! We shared many laughs. She was one of the strongest women I have ever known. You will be missed “P”.

Cissy was HNS classmate and friend. Later in life we have enjoyed some class lunches out visiting. She loved her family and spoke of them. I am praying for her family and remembering her.

I am saddened to read of Cissy’s death. Cissy graduated in our class and was always full of laughter and fun. Throughout the years we have kept in touch always with a laugh when we heard each others voice! She always spoke of family first! Our love and prayers for her family.

David, Wayne, John and Kevin,
We are so sorry and sad at the passing of your wonderful, amazing mother. Aunt Cissy always spoke so lovingly of each of you and was so proud of you. She’s with your dad and our Daddy (and so many others) in heaven today. What a friend to the Angels she will be! We are praying for each of you, asking that He grant you strength and comfort in the coming months. All our love to you. Donna Sauer Miller, Robin Sauer Westrick, and Barbara Sauer
