Henrietta worked many years with the Knights of Columbus with her family. She was the nicest lady. Always enjoyed seeing and talking to her. Hated that she retired but her family kept working there. Know this is hard for family but you have so many good memories to help you during this time and in the future. May she Rest In Peace. The Scoby's.
