RIH Ms.Peanut My Deepest Condolences To The Family

She was the best lady that I could have worked with at the (bus shop)Lowndes County Transportation Department you will truly be missed

God Bless you Ms Peanut!! You were the best! I always enjoyed talking with you at bus duty at The Old PGE school! You were such a hoot! The kids loved you so much!! You will forever be missed my friend!!

So sad to hear of her passing. She was the best bus driver ever. She always watched over my siblings and I . So thankful for her loving kindness she showed toward us. Gone but not forgotten. Rest In Peace

She made my transition from San Antonio, TX when I was 7 years old. I felt loved and cared for the moment I stepped onto the bus. She would let me sit next to her & put the stop sign out whenever we picked up another student. I would say Happy Birthday every year to her even when I moved away. This started in 1974 up until this last year (2019.) Peanut you will be missed.

I was just telling my husband about how Peanut made my transition from San Antonio, TX so much more bearable when I was just 7 years old. She made me feel loved from the first moment that I stepped foot on her school bus. She would let me sit beside her and put the stop sign out whenever we picked up another student. I always thought of her on her every year on her birthday. The Heaven has a great angel.

Reat in peace Mrs Peanut. Met her while working at Quincys resturant 20 plus years ago. Very nice lady.

So thankful my daughter was always in the best hands with Ms Peanut. I knew she would look after my child, like her own. Such a loving and caring lady. Prayers for her family and friends. Susan Kramer

Prayers to all her Family and Friends. I haven't been home in several years but I will never forget her smiles and laughs.
