Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I was a young housewife when we met & became friends through her work at Sew & Save store. She was always available with helpful suggestions & so through the years I counted her a real friend. Although our paths crossed all too infrequently in the past several years, I was sad to read her obit a few weeks ago. - Posted by: Edith Redekop (Friend from long ago when she worked at Sew & Save Store that I frequented. she always had good sugg) on: Dec 27, 2014

  • Elsie was our model conscientious Kleefeld Tops weight recorder for many years. She was a Kops for more than twenty-five years. Elsie was always serving, always working. We could depend on her.
