Fernola "Nodie" Strode

The passing of my grade school friend, Fernola, brought tears to my eyes. She was such a warm, kind and supportive friend. I wish there were more people like her in this world. I missed the opportunity to see and talk with her at the high school reunions. We could have shared some wonderful memories of Douglas School. Bless you, Fernola, for your wonderful,kind and strong spirit in my life.

So very sorry to see Fernola's obit in the paper. She was a classmate of the Class of '57 at Springfield High School and we just saw her at our class reunion last fall.

I didn't know Nodie well, but whenever we saw one another in the halls of SHS, she was always very pleasant to talk to. I am sure she will be sorely missed by her family and friends. RIP Nodie.

Fernola was one of my very most treasured patients. I was blessed to offer her care while I practiced in Springfield and she was loved by all in our office. When I married on leap year day Fernola gave me a beautiful relish tray which I use every time we entertain. I remember her each time I see it.
My prayers to you her family. She was loved by many and will be missed

Fernola was such a sweet person. I know she will be a welcome addition to the angels.

So sorry to learn of the passisng of Fernola, Nodie, good friends in high school. Prayers be with the family at this time.

Sug will look forward to seeing you.

I am so sorry to hear of Fernola death, Just last week I heard she was in the hopsital. Will miss not having her at our yearly cousin when dinner I come back home. She was such a lovely person and always good to my mother, (Aunt Dorothy). My prayers are with you at this time, and now she is with her beloved husband Harry Edward, May they both rest in peace.
