I knew Mitzie for only a few short years. I met her when I joined the Happy Hookers of Bow. What a wonderful lady. She was a joy to know.

Dear LeMay family,
I've just learned of Mitzie and her final destination to Heaven. There are many fond memories of the McGowan's in Bow with the LeMay's. The first thing that comes to my mind is what a classy lady she was. A real lady and how often my mother would mention that. Mitzie was so generous with her pool and I can't tell you all the times she would have my little sisters up for a swim. She was a loving , kind and fair woman. My heart is happy for she is reunited in death with her Andy and dear Eleanor.
Our sympathy to all of you.
Anne McGowan on behalf of the McGowan family.
