LILLIAN ERNA NIELSEN RINEDOLLAR

I just learned today from my mom that Lil passed away. I remember her as a vibrant caring woman who was an inspiration to me as I decided to become a teacher. She was a great woman who will be missed and remembered.

Don, Chris, Vicky & Gary,
I just found out about Lil and am so sorry. I remember a story from LONG ago (after you moved from Liberty Dr to that street by North Towne). She and your Dad were having a party and while taking this gigantic salad out of the refrigerator, she dropped it. Without misssing a beat, she looked at me, seated at the table witnessing this, and said "that's why they called it a TOSSED salad". I still smile at that memory this many years later! I have used that as a benchmark in my adult life many times. That was a shining example of how to handle things in life when they don't go exactly as planned. My prayers are with all of you.

Mrs.Rinedollar was my kindergarten teacher at Conklin in 1975.I have such clear memories of that time and her as well, and it's probably because she was such a wonderful teacher.I will never forget her, along with many others.Thank you for sharing her with us.

Chris,
We were so very sorry to see that your Mom has passed on. She was a great lady!
