I had the pleasure of getting to know Adora while working activities at Wesbury. She was often an invaluable help, considering I was winging it half the time. She would always have my back, nudging me in the right direction when I looked her way. It was evident that she lived life to the fullest and I enjoyed her very much. My condolences.
Betty…I have such fond and fun memories of staying at your place when we were in school ,and your mom always made me feel so welcome..like one of her own. Hugging you with love….susan storms
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Dode. She was a wonderful woman whom we enjoyed visiting with very much. She had a long life but never long enough for those who knew and loved her. Our thoughts are with you.

I’m sorry to hear about Dode. She and my mom were close friends from when they grew up together in Guys Mills until my mom’s passing. I was friends with Dode too because of my mom and also when we worked together at Maplewood Elementary School. She was a great lady, very kind and gentle. I’m sure she will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers for your family.
We were so very sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. We are sending our deepest Condolences to both of you! Betty, you are so very blessed to have your Mom for this long! You now have your very own Guardian Angel!
Betty and Frank..so very sorry to hear..it is never easy losing a parent..regardless of age or life served..may your mom have peaceful rest and may you smile with your memories..
I am so sorry for the passing of your wonderful Mother
Not only was she family, she was a second mother to me for a short period in my life. I will forever be grateful and hold her in a special place in my heart! Love and miss you, dear aunt!
