“I worked with Elmeda for her entire time at the Commission on Aging in Hagerstown and remember her as a very kind person, always to willing to help anyone in need. I would see her around town occasionally after her retirement but then, sadly, lost touch. Most sincere condolences to her family and friends.”
“We were neighbors with Elmeda and Bill for 10 years on Northridge Dr. We will remember their kindness to our family always. Elmeda would never let a neighborly deed go without responding with a pie or a cake from the bakery and she always remembered our children with treats for holidays. She and Bill were fine examples of what a neighbor should be, we started out as strangers and ended up as friends. Our prayers for warm memories go out to your family.
