“Grandma” will be dearly missed. Thank you for all the delicious lunches and dinners you fed us hungry high schoolers and for always being one of the most loving and kind people ever. To Allison, Heather, and family, my sincere condolences to all of you.

Mrs. Wolverton you were a wonderful lady! I had the pleasure to meet you in my high school years as we would raid your house at lunch time and into my adult years seeing you at work. Praying for you and your family. Now you get to be with Mr. Wolverton ❤️

My Mom, Laura Beatty, and Aunt Melba were best buddies, as were Sheryl and I. We grew up in each other’s homes. Aunt Melba was my second Mom! When she married Uncle Don, I had never seen a couple more in love! I believe they’re finally together again!
