Matilda DOBBS

Dear Dede, Wayne, Lulu and Vincent,
I just learned about Tilly today (11/9). I don't know how I missed it and was very sorry to hear it. She was not someone who will be soon forgotten! I hope you all are doing well.
Love, Margaret (Shufeldt)

Matilda was kind, delightful, unique, and hilarious every time I ever saw her. One of my mother's greatest friends, whose kindness made me feel like I was her friend, too.

Lulu,

So sorry to hear about your mother. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.

Our family lived down the street on Colland Drive for many years. "Tilliy" was always a positive, gracious and fun presence in our neighborhood and at St Philips. Everyone loved her. She will be missed. Eleanor Horsey Ridley

I was so sorry to hear of Miss Tilly's passing. She is one of the very few people I wished I had known longer as soon as I met her while walking my dogs in Collier Hills. Such a lovely person and a true Southern lady the likes of which one does not encounter now days. And so much energy! My goodness it seemed like every time we (me & my dogs) stopped to chat she was always telling me about where she was going or what she was going to do next, whether it was diving to Serenbee to have...

I not only knew Matilda at Neiman Marcus and Tiffany's, but had the pleasure of having her help for my daughter's wedding. She was lovely and gracious, and always friendly.
