My sympathy to the family. I was her neighbor for many years. She will be missed in McMechen, that’s for sure as well as her family
I worked with Erma 21 years ago at Coleman’s. I only worked there a year but I knew once she began teasing me that she liked me. Her and I would talk about alot of things she did when she was younger. Super stubborn but I loved working with her.
