I can remember Miss Polly standing at her back door and "hollering" to my mom-mom Liz next door. That was how they communicated and knew everything that was going on in town.We had alot of fun times growing up in Hebron near her. She and my grandmother made sure to go to the baseball field to watch the girls play. They were their greatest fans. Rest in peace Miss Polly. It was an honor to know you.

I knew Ms. Polly and Mr. Johnnie alot of years, both were very nice people. I can remember when Ms. Polly worked at the IGA in Hebron, worked in the stands at the Firemen's Carnivals. I agree if you ever heard her laugh you would always remember it. To know her was to love her RIP Ms. Polly. My prayers to the families.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Miss Polly. I totally loved her and respected her for her tell it like it is attitude, enjoyed her in church at St. Paul's and especially enjoyed chatting with her at Hebron ballpark whenever my dad's team (Earl Church), Cherrywalk played ball. She was a great supporter. May God Bless you all and may Polly rest in the arms of her Lord.
