My good friend is now in heaven. We knew each other at Man High School, but we were best buddies at Marshall. When she and others formed the Man High Reunion, I had the joy of getting to see this lovely wonderful lady every other year for 26 years. My prayers are with you, family of Cotton. Love, Linda Jo Harless Bailey,

So sorry to hear. Cotton and I worked together for many years. I watched her square dance on Saturday Night. Also, played golf with her many times (she always beat me). She was a great golfer. Please accept my sincere condolences. Ken Koerber

Cotton used to dance on the Saturday Night Jamboree with my father“s square dancing group. She always took great care of herself and it showed. She was a fun person to be around - a person of many admirable qualities.

I knew Cotton ever since I can remember. My.mom worked with her at thr Nickel Plant and they became friends. Mom and I always went with Cotton and Mike for trick or treat and that included a special trip to the grandmother's house where we got extra treats! Cotton was so kind. Once I put Mike on the wrong school bus home and when I went to apologize she just gave me a big hug and said okay just don't do it again (she had to leave work that day!).
Rest well dear Cotton. I like to think you and Mom are up there chatting like old times.

So sorry to hear of Cotton's passing. She was a good neighbor on Elm Street, bowled with her and was an Avon customer. She never met a stranger!!!!
