Dear Audrey and Tara, I worked at Denmarks in the early 1980's. Mrs. Weiss hired me and helped to train me. She was a lovely person! Always pleasant. We continued to be friendly over the years. My mother was in the womens club, and other various activities with her. She was a class act and will be missed by all who knew her! We are truly sorry for your loss.

Audrey and Tara, I also worked with your mom/grandma at Denmarks many years ago. She was a lovely person and taught me so much about so many things. The picture of her is wonderful, just how I remember her. She was a dear person and great friend to us all at Denmarks, and for those of us who were so young then, she has had a hand in shaping our lives forever with her wisdom of the business, her genuine laughter (I always remember her wiping tears in her eyes when she got tickled about something), and her vibrant, outgoing personality. I will always have fond memories of her.

Audrey and Tara, so sorry I did not see the obit in time to come down (from East Liverpool) for the service today at noon. I looked for it online every day, but somehow missed it. Your Mom was one special lady, but that is already quite well known! I pray that God will comfort you and Tara in that very special way that only He can, now and in the days ahead. Love and Prayers, Donna Sue
