I had the pleasure of many visits with Ardythe and her friend Ethel. She brought dessert every time! She was a nice person.

My sympathy to Mark and family. I grew up on Galloway across the road from Tiny’s home during the 1940s and 50s, and have many memories of her, her parents and siblings and her husband Jeff. But, my most recent and clearest memory is of the long afternoon spent with Tiny at her son’s home in the summer of 2016 while visiting Franklin. We spent several hours re-living Galloway events from “back in the day”, and that evening enjoyed dinner at Dawndi’s with several other former “Gallowayites” of those days. Rest in peace, Tiny.
