I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember her as a wonderful leader for our Jr Legion Auxiliary, (and her yummy hot dog pizza!). Mrs Ehresman was also our marching band bus driver and took us to all the football games and any band contests we participated in. I remember her fun spirit, creativity, and laughter! She participated in numerous community activities while I was a youngster. Her positive examples, guidance and civic presence contributed to many a young persons healthy growth in New Washington. Sending you all, my prayers and sympathy.
