A poem to honor her... thoughts and prayers to all! We wish we could be there. Love, Jillian & Naresh 

Grandma Marla

She’s got rhinestones on her jacket
Sparkly and sharp
Best taste in fashion 
Iconic with class

She always reminded me of a Lucille Ball
A charming lady with some spunk 
Warm, friendly, and quick-witted
But she wouldn’t stand for any punks!

I’ll never forget spilling grape juice on her and Grandpa’s white placemats
Having the parents that I do, I was quick to panic
Let alone if Grandpa saw, I thought I’d be kicked out of Florida and sent back to Pennsylvania 
Fortunately, Grandma was the only one who did see and said patiently, with pure kindness, 
“It is ok hun, we’ll clean up the mess. Placemats can be washed or replaced, no need to worry.”

I’ll cherish our phone convos that developed later in my adulthood
Grandma always had great stories, talking about time spent with friends, family, and Poppy
I wish I could just sit down with her in-person over a cup of coffee 
Don’t forget the buttered English muffin, and maybe add some peanut butter 😉 

I know instead she’s up there dancing with Grandpa to polka 
I’ll remember to look back fondly and know she’s with us in spirit 
For we too can be washed, but we cannot be replaced 
Grandma Marla’s soul shimmers among us 
Never forgotten. She shines.

My  Condolences to Tonya, Paul, and Carl. May your beautiful mother rest in peace with Our Lord. This is a time of great sadness for the loss of my beautiful, sweet friend of many years, however this is a time of visiting great memories that our friendship afforded us. Until we meet again, my friend. RIP.

We are so happy we got to spend time with Aunt Jackie.  She was a special lady and she will be missed and remembered forever!

At Jillian & Naresh’s Wedding in Erie, PA - so special Grandma made the trip! 🫶

Marla you were a great friend and worker. So many kind things you did for so many. Debra Whitehead called me. You were the spark plug of our group. I will miss you. Guess you will be with Bill. I will write more after I get my thoughts together.

Dear Aunt Jackie- 

Sister of George, my father.  We didn’t see much of each other because of the distance between us, but when you visited you brought such joy and spirit.  I was happy to see you come and sad to see you leave.  I have fond memories of you and Bill dancing Poka at the Black Forest Restaurant.  I thought that was the cutest thing I ever saw.  Seeing you and all of your wonderful family at my mom’s (Phyllis) 90th birthday party. Traveling the long distance for her special event meant the world to me.  You have such a wonderful family!!!   We will miss you.  You always brought fun and happiness with you where ever you went. 

With deepest sympathy 
Carol Chapman (daughter of George)
