Wishing her family sympathy and will miss having an occasional lunch with her as we were both in the 1955 class of Paxton High School. Sorry I could not attend the service.

To Tina and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I remember, fondly, your mom coming out to cheer us on during our Colwell volleyball games. Such a sweet lady and a good mom! We’re keeping you in our thoughts and hearts during this time. With Love, Lisa Kelly and Susie Craig
