She was definitely one of God's best! I will never forget that sweet, soft-spoken voice and the biggest, kindest heart around - too many wonderful memories to count (sweet iced tea, cinnamon toast, and the best cole slaw ever are some of my favorites.) You will forever be in my heart Aunt Betty. 😇😘 (Lisa Zinkevich (Bianchini)
I can’t believe we missed this today. Mom and I planned on going and now we just realized we missed it. Sewing club and secret pal are my memories. My mom (Claire Pullen) used to say I was the only one kid who had to be part of it, nosey! Please accept our sincere condolences. We really wanted to see all of you tonight. My granddaughter was here and it slipped our minds. Your mother was a great lady.!🙏🏻😇 Linda Eckelmann
We love you Grammy! Thank you for so many years of great memories. I'll always think of you when I see sugar free fudge pops, butterscotch candies, or see little novelty mice. Enjoy being with Grandpop, we'll see you soon.
Love you Grammy, we all cherish our memories with you- from your chocolate banana pudding pies to your endless craft shows and love of mice. Childhood memories of roller skating in the basement on rainy days and getting punished for sliding down the bilco doors. I love you so much.
