Worked with Lottie when I first hired on with Western Electric back in the late 70's. She was such a competent and professional secretary; totally different from what we now call "administrative assistants." She was one classy lady. So glad to have known such a person. So sorry for your loss.

Ms. Lottie was a very special lady. She was a patient at the dental office where I work and I have had the pleasure of knowing her for many years. She was an amazing woman and will be missed. My sympathy goes out to her family.
