I was 2 years old when my aunt Pauline moved to Hillsboro Ohio, that has been 74 years ago. She has been a part of my life since the day I was born. Her first job was at the pants factory in Hillsboro. Her first paycheck was spent on my sister and I. She went to the store and bought us clothes. She spent many a silver dimes on us buying us things that we needed, including ice cream. There are no words to express our loss. The only thing I can say is, with her all things are well.
She will always be in my heart,
Her niece Cheryl Pruitt.
